My chickens are 8 weeks old and they've been out in the coop for about a week. I turn on a heat lamp at night, as the night time temps have been dropping into the mid to low 20s (goodbye early garden starts). The wireless thermostat in the coop tells me it drops down to about 50 inside the (insulated) coop at night, but it's probably warmer directly under the heat lamp, where they sleep.
