New chicken mom in Central Florida

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Adorable babies! They are definitely close to being fully feathered. If your coop is draft free, but has ventilation, you should be able to get them outside. If you are too worried, wait a week, they will definitely be ready.

Welcome to our community!

Thank you!!! I’ll go with next week then just to be safe

Welcome. I am a bit more conservative than most here...I keep mine in for 8-weeks.

Thanks for the welcome! Excited to be here. It is currently 61 degrees and will be dropping to 50 by the early morning

I would feel a bit uneasy having them outside yet, but that's just me.
They probably would be fine though.

based on some of the comments, I think I’ll be waiting until next week. I’ll continue acclimating them with long field trips outside in their play pen without the brooder for the next few days

I’d rather be safe. I’ll wait until next week and keep giving them long field trips outside during the day
