At what age should I put our chicks outside.
We have six chickens, all of them are around nine weeks old.

Glad you have joined us.

They are fully feathered and ready to transition to their permanent home.

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! I too agree with sunflour at 9 weeks they should be fully feathered and ready to go outside. Love the pic of your chicks very nice! Wishing you the very best of luck with them.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Welcome to you. These folks are so much help!

I can't believe you lasted so long - some folks carry on about the odor and dump them out way before they are ready. You are a very caring chicken parent. You have some big chicks and they are very pretty. They will welcome being outside and having a nice coop for themselves.. and you will miss your inside babies.

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Like @sunflour and @Yorkshire coop said, once they are fully feathered they can go outside. This is usually around 8-10 weeks. They are very cute!
