Out to the coop....

[Nekatlla]

Setting my three birds out to the coop this weekend, 40's to 50's at night,they are 6 and 8 weeks old, will they be warm enough? And should the windows get closed up at night?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

What temperatures are they used to? They should be mostly feathered by now. It's more about it being a sudden drop in temperatures that can stress them. Without seeing your coop I can't say for sure whether your window should be open or closed. I generally close them but my coop is bigger and not all closed in.

They were in the house so it was usually between 65 and 70, but not breezy, I covered the windows with plexiglass and put a lamp out for this week since it's gonna be low at night for a bit. Can't hurt and they've been fine.
