Identification help, please…and a question

[mldlm]

A few pics of my chicks outside in a temporary shelter/cage. Still trying to figure out what kind of chickens the black ones are…hoping these pics will help. The two white ones are leghorns. Thinking of putting them in the coop overnight tonight. Florida nights now are low 50’s and days are low to mid 80’s. They are roughly 5 weeks and a couple of days. Thoughts? The close up one of the black one (my son named her Twiggy) is about a week old.

It's kind of hard to tell, but maybe Australorps?

Are they maybe blue Australorps?

Thank you. I am leaning that way, too.

i would say blue or black Australorps
don't put one week old's outside over night

I agree, likely australorp.

It depends if they’re in a warm climate, have a broody/brooder, or many people keep them outside.

Misunderstanding…. ”Twiggy” is now 4.5 weeks old…that was an old picture of her. Sorry for the confusion.

Central Florida. Nights are now upper 50s and days are mid 80s. They stay outside almost all day, but I bring them in at night. I am wondering if they will be fine outside in their coop which we have very secure, but no electricity. We have this coop for my four girls, which we then surrounded with a 15 x 10 run of chain link with chicken wire across the top and half way up the top and out from the bottom. Just mostly concerned about the temps. Thank you for your advice ahead of time.

I think it might be okay to put them out as long as the are that old. I put mine out after the 3rd or 4th week usually depending on the breed.
