Cold spell. Do I need to bring my chicks in?

[NewchickieLTJ]

I have 3 chicks, they are 5 weeks and 3 days old. It’s been very warm here (I live in Texas) with lows in the 80’s. My chicks slept outside in their coop for the first time last night and they did great! Now the forecast is showing lows of 70-71 at night for the next week (days will be in the 80/90s). The chart says 70 is ok, but should I bring them back into the garage just to be safe?

Do they have Feathers yet the best judge is feathers 70 is a warm temp then

I think they’re feathered out? 2 silkies and an Easter egger.

They will be great outside heck of great job your on the way

They'll be fine outside, they're plenty feathered at this age and 70 isn't cold at all.

Thanks so much! I’ll be keeping them outside

Definitely leave them to do their thing. They will be fine.
