My chicks are 6 weeks old and I heard they can live in the coop at 6 weeks but I've noticed they aren't fully feathered yet, is it safe or should I wait till they have them all?
 
Oh sorry! I didn't realize the pictures didn't attach

(They are turken chicks btw)

"Mostly feathered" is fine. I've had chicks that were a a tad under half feathered be fine without heat in moderate temperatures.
