Is it too cold for my chick!? ):

[Barbeque]

He's 3 weeks old, is it fine to take him outside for a little bit? It is 65 degrees....
I did for a small amount of time, and he pooped, and ran around chasing me.
But i dunno if this means he's too cold, or playing.

The recomended temp for a 3 week old is 85 to 80 degrees.

10 or 15 minutes won't hurt, as long as it's reasonably warm. My little guys heat lamp exploded and they were all out in an unheated space for 4 hours at 40 degrees, and they were fine.. this was at 2 weeks. I think you're fine. if it stops pecking and running around, and huddles down, put it back under heat!
