I first asked about removing heat from this chick last week, now I'd like opinions on of she's ready to move outside full time. She is mostly feathered, so I'm not sure if it will be too cold for her. Her "sisters" are all 7-14 days older than her, so they are fully feathered and definitely ready, but I'm just not sure if Wednesday is yet. She just turned 6 weeks old a couple days ago.Here are so pictures of her in the spots I'm most worried about.
Here is the weather report for the next week. I've also included an hourly so you all can get a better sense how long it stays at the low temp in this neck of the woods. During this part of the year it's typically only cold for a handful of hours from around 2-7 and then very quickly his the daily high when the sun comes up, so it's just those handful of hours I'm worried about.
I've been leaving outside all day, but bringing them back in at night for three last week, so they are exposed to temps in the high 40s, low 50s for about an hour every morning from 7-8 right now as well.
