Do you think its warm enough?

I have my 4 week olds outside in the coop for the first time tonight. there is a small window covered in screen cracked opened for ventilation but the rest of the coop is closed up. I have a heat lamp in the coop and they don't really want to sit under it, just around it. its supposed to be 65 degrees tonight. Should I bring them in? or will they be okay out there? I'm kind of freaking out! lol

Sounds okay to me but I'm not an expert. Are they shivering?

If Texas weather is anything like Floridas weather I have some outside in a similar setup. They have been outside for at least a week and have been fine.

okay thanks! I just went outside again and they are sleeping and spread apart from eachother. I guess if they were too cold they would be huddled up under the lamp!

If there is a heat lamp I think they will be fine. (it is a little nervewracking their first night out though, isn't it?)

I think your chicks will be fine.65* is probably just about what they like at 4 wks. and you have the heat lamp just in case.
