Chickens living out side

[Tiffchick88]

At what point do you move you chicks out side into their coop? Mine are about 5 weeks old now are feathering and growing. Right now their living inside and I've been reducing the amount of heat they are under.

Inside you can wean them off of heat now. Where do you live and what are the outside temps? How many chicks?

It depends on your outside temperatures this time of year. Generally when they are acclimated to outside temperatures, and or are fully feathered, you can stop providing extra heat. They can go out in a coop if it's large enough to bring their heat source with in order to continue acclimating them.
