Leaving 2 day old chicks outside with mothers?

[Oceanic109]

My chicks have two mothers and a nice and cozy nesting box to stay in that is on the ground. I don't think I would need to bring them inside at night as i live in FL and it usually is just about the 60-80s at night. Plus the two moms provide extra heat! Though I am not sure if i should still bring them in incase of predator attacks, though I would think the only thing that would be able to get to them is a snake and I would also believe the moms would protect the chicks.

Should I bring in the chicks every night until they are a bit older or leave them in the outside coop in their nest?

I've had chicks out in my coop with their mom for a few weeks now, its supposed to be 20F tonight and has been colder than that since they hatched. I think your chicks will be fine with two mommies

Hard to know if broody mama could protect chicks from a snake in the dark.
Best bet is to have them in a coop that can exclude snakes...1/2" hardware cloth.
Only you know what the chance of snake predation might be in your specific area, and if you want to take the risk ......have you had problems with snakes in the past?

Her concern was predation, not warmth.

I have had a type of garden snake that was very long but not very wide eat my eggs a while ago but I think its long gone after its home under a block next to my house was taken over by a armadillo.

But I always had the worry that now that small, more weaker ground birds that can easily be eaten by a predator will attract snakes back into my yard again. I can't help myself but worry.
