Hello and welcome to BYC

They should be ready to move to a coop as soon as they are fully featured (around 6-7 weeks). Have a look at our Learning Centre here for more on raising chicks:

Greetings from Kansas, cross1966, and

! Pleased to have you here! The choice of medicated vs. non-medicated is personal - some swear by it, others avoid it. When it comes to moving them to the coop, it should be when they are fully feathered - 4 weeks in some breeds. A lot of that depends on your climate. Good luck to you!
