they look like mine.. who is 6 weeks old. But i dont usualy go by age to determine if they go out. if the temps outside are high enough, i let them out when they are about half feathered. slowly at first though. mine have been in their own coop for about 2.5 weeks now.

This is my first time having silkies if they are 6 wks I was way off lol they are the size of my other chickens when they were 3 wks but they are all large fowl im not sure what would 1/2 feathered look like its a lot easier to tell on a norm feathered chicken I'm not sure on the silkies what is baby fluff and what's there new adult fluff lol
