Chicks vs heat?

[TheChickieWhisperer]

Hey all! I was wondering how do I get my chicks to adjust to the outside temps? It gets up to 80- 95 degrees here. My 6-week old chicks are all feathered out too. Any suggestions?

Start putting them outside in a shaded area for a few hours or until they look stressed. Lengthen the time daily. If they seem fine and are given shade and water they may just be fine out there.

I put 3 of my 5 weeks old Ameraucana outside and it’s 80-85 degree outside. They are all doing good. I think it depends on what type of chick you have.

I have a Wyandotte Rooster, Buff Orp, Americana, Polish Crested, and Welsummer. They are panting is that normal?

Is it time to let them into the coop? Because we put them out there.

I think At 6 weeks, they can go outside. Make sure you have some shade and water for them.
they will be fine. If they get cold, they will stick together and get warm.

What if it rains? They won't walk up the board to the coop.
