Newbie seeking help with transfer to outside coop!

I have six plymouth rock chicks 3.5 weeks old. The weather seems to be perfect timing for them to go to the outside coop. It is going to be 90s during day and 65-70 at night. Would they be okay with or without heat lamp at night? Also, how long do I provide them with food and water in coop? Thanks for the help.

They should be fine in the coop at that age. They may be a little chilly at night but will huddle together to stay warm. Just make sure there are not any drafts. Some people leave their food and water in the coop, some don't. There are advantages and disadvantages to having it inside. It's up to you.

Thank you RonC, that is what I was thinking which makes me feel better as a newbie. Any other takers on their opinions?
