Moving outdoors

[Monchicks]

My 3 chicks are 6 weeks in a couple of days. I live in Melbourne Australia so the temps are wild 12-32c on any given day. Lowest temps are 8c overnight next week. Will they be okay to move out? I read about acclimatising them to the low temps but not sure how to do that. They're inside and I removed their heat lamp a few days ago.

I would move them out. I don't keep chicks in the house in the first place. They are raised outside with temperatures as wide-ranging is what you've listed and they do just fine. If you're concerned about them being outside when it might get a little chilly, you can give them a huddle box to pile up in. Just make sure they don't have any direct drafts on them but have plenty of ventilation and fluffy dry bedding and they should do excellent.

They could've gone out two or three weeks ago. Like @DobieLover says, just give them a box to sleep in if you're worried and make sure they're able to (and KNOW how to) get out of the wind and rain.

They have been out for full day trips when it hasn't been raining at least. Will definitely move them out this week.

12-32 C = 54-90 F
8C = 46 F

I've had chicks a little younger than that go through nights below freezing. Yours are feathered out, those lower temperatures should be downright comfortable for them. They should be able to handle that heat also. I don't see any reason to acclimate them, they can handle it.

They just need to be able to get out of a direct breeze hitting them but do need good ventilation.
