i just hatched chickies yesterday and i put themin a homemade cardboard brooder. Now due to my very hot climate how long do i need tokeep them in ? 3 Weeks.

Since heat is not an issue, I would be primarily concerned with predators.
Keep them wherever they are safe and secure. I'd probably keep them inside so they can get used to us handling them, then ease them out into a bigger coop and run as they get bigger.
Are you integrating them into an existing flock?

I'm no expert, just saying thats what I would be doing.

Looking at the weather reports for Bahamas right now, three weeks should do it, maybe four if you have a cold snap. On the other hand, if you have any particularly warm weather, make sure your chicks are cool enough, and not panting in the heat.
