New to BC (NE GA)

[Ja Mee]

I am new to backyardchickens.com and I am new to chickens coming in general. I have wanted chickens for a long time but my husband did not agree. He finally came around and said okay. When a friend of a friend had a friend giving away too young chickens, I said yes. They were supposed to be 3ish week old light brahmas, but I think they were several weeks older than that. They had no yellow, tons of feathers and no bare spots. A couple days later I bought four two-eled chicks: two barred rocks and two cream leghorns. I am pretty sure the older two are ready to go outside but I'm waiting for my husband to finalize predator-proofing the hoop coop.
I feel like I am becoming a Master Chickener thanks to YouTube and FB.

Hello, and welcome to BYC! Thanks for joining.

The two are WAY past three weeks old. They are fully feathered so I'd say they are at least 8 weeks old. Old enough to be sexed and to go outside. All of your chooks can go outside whenever you get your coop is finished.
