agree on the eight weeks in general however the OP said hers were four weeks old which in my opinion is simply too young to be put out without a mamma

My girls have been going outside for a week now. They are 5 weeks old. They love it outside and are busy scratching up critters and eating weeds and grass. I think that fresh air and sunshine are most important to good health in any animal (people too!) and it is warm enough now for them to be outside. Medicated starter is a must, and I give mine some yogurt mixed with oat bran every other day for a treat and they go crazy for it. Continue to put yours outside and maybe try the yogurt - it helps with their digestion just like people's. I don't think the grit is a real issue, as mine never got any until they started scratching up dirt outside.
