Northern Canadian Coop coming together

[NorthernChickenChic]

Hi there! My chicks are going to be 8 weeks old this week and I’m frantically getting my coop together! It’s mid-20s (Celsius) here during the day and lows of 5c at night. Can my little chickers spend their time in the coop and outside now? The nest boxes aren’t 100% yet, but they’re also not laying yet. The walls are insulated, but not the roof. Is it okay to put them in here now days and nights? Thanks for all the help!

As long as it's predator proof and has lots of ventilation, they can certainly be outside.
