I have baby chicks that I hope can go out to the coop at 4 weeks old, is that possible. It is in the 80's during the day and 60's at night. I want to take tem out at 3 weeks in a kennel and get them use to the outside and get my other hens use to them, is that a good idea

3 weeks is a tad early in my opinion.

My 5 week girls were together briefly in the same brooder as my 3 week youngins for about a week before i took them all outside. The slightly older birds keep them warm outside so all is going well. They are now 7 and 5 weeks, and i just got some late hatchlings about 3 days now. They are coming with me on vacation!

4 week olds can easily go out into a predator proof coop at those temperatures without supplementation.

As for introducing, it is a trial and error thing.
Lots of space and multiple feed/water stations.
