How quick will my birds mature?

[Chicken0Boy]

Ok so how long will it take for my birds to be able to go to the coop? I was hoping to be able to sex em' at 5 weeks and put them in the coop at 5 weeks to! Can I do this?

Heres a list of the breeds I am getting!

1) Silkies

2) Bantam Cochin

3) EE

4) Frizzle Cochins

Do you have other chickens already in your coop? Our chicks are 6 weeks old and we've had them outside now for 2 weeks with a heat lamp. They're in their own coop away from the adult hens and we let them out together under supervision for a little while each day. We're hoping to have them all together in a few more weeks depending on how fast the babies grow. Hope this helps.

We actually have 1 coop full of nothing but the breeds you have listed.

We put them outside at 4 weeks old, which was about 5 weeks ago now, and they are doing great. We actually put ALL of ours outside at 4 weeks old.
