Four 7 Wk Old Chicks + Cold Nights

Awesome!!! She’ll realize before too long chickens handle cold a lot better than us humans do. That down coat helps them out so much.

As you discovered for yourself they're fine outside at that age, without heat.

I had 2 day old chicks out in as low as the 40s and they did fine (with heat of course), it's just a matter of blocking up drafts and keeping them dry.

I knew they'd be fine, my parents were the ones who thought they'd die.
