Is it time to move them outside?

My little covey of quail will be 4 weeks old this Saturday. They no longer require the heating plate and our temps here in Texas have started to warm up. We’ve had days that have hit 90 already. It’s getting in the high 50’s at night / early morning right now. Towards the end of next week it will be a low of 60-65 and just start going up from there. I’m thinking it’s about time to move them but if I should wait then I will. They still have a couple of bald spots that the feathers are not fully in yet but I’d say they are 95% covered.

They'll be fine, especially if they have shelters they can use in case they get a bit cold.

I got them a large single story rabbit hutch that has a room that is blocked from the wind on all sides if they need to get out of the wind. Im ready for them to get in their home and out of the garage lol.

I’ve been moving them into the garage at 4 weeks with a heat lamp (for another week) that barely manages to keep it at 45-50F, bit colder here! Yours will be fine!
