I'm sorry, I should have said that they have already been outside since they were 2-3 weeks old - they were in an inside brooder box till then, and have been in an outside much larger box [3x4] with a light [just a 100 watt light bulb] since they were 2-3 weeks old.
I can't run an extension cord to the coop because I have a lab who loves to chew electrical wire [and everything else]. He's a good boy, doesn't hurt the chickens and even herds them back in the coop, but he has a definite "thing" for chewing, even though he's 3.5 years old now and not a puppy any more. I can look into some conduit maybe [though he'd probably chew that too], but that will be a while before I can go shopping for that and get it laid, maybe buried.
Thanks!
Kelly
