i sectioned off a corner of my10x12 coop. 6 ft long by 4 ft wide. i also have a outside pen with a metal roof 12x12 would they be alright outside at 6 weeks old. i would just have to build them a house to go in at night how big should the house be for 17 6 week olds.
Why would you need to build them a house if they have a coop sectioned off? They should be fully feathered out- what is the range of temperatures in your area? Mine are four weeks old and still in the house but I think by then as long as it's not too cold (esp at night) the coop should be fine... make sure your coop and pen are very safe from predators- and is your pen covered?
