   We have 8 eight to ten week old chicks that are outside in a coop and run day and night. My hope is to let them free range during the day and put them in thier coop/pen during the night. At what age is it ok to let them out during the day and any advise for doing so?
   
   Thanks!

   I let mine free range when 2-3 months old with no problems i had older hens teaching them to look for bugs and such and the only problem I had was a few of them didn't want to go back in at night but they learned.
