In the Brooder
Hello all! I asked this a few days ago and got a pretty unanimous response, but I am totally a paranoid chicken-mom and have to ask again to be sure!
We have 7 barred rocks.
They are almost 5 weeks old.
They are currently living in a closet in the house.
The heat lamp has been OFF for over a week, but the house still maintains 65º - 80ºF inside.
We have 1 more quick task on their coop before it's finished and want to know if they can go out to live permanently tonight
My concern is that over the next week-ish, the overnight low a couple of times will be in the (high) 40's and I thought that would be too cold for them at this age. But I also have no idea what I'm talking about.
Here is the 10 day forecast for our area:

Also here is what our babies are looking like theses days:


They have almost all feathers but some little fluffy spots left on their head/necks
What does everyone think?
Thank you all in advance
Nicole
