Outside in the coop with 45* temp?

[ejtalbert]

Hi everyone!
I have five 61/2 old chickens and they have been spending the daytimes outside in the coop. It is currently early spring, so the nights do get a bit chilly. Today, the low temp is 45 degrees overnight, and I am strongly considering this to be their first night outside. They all have feathers all over except for on their bums. They have been outside in 45-50* weather and rainy before.
Thoughts?

I assume you meant 6-1/2 week old chicks. I'd do it, they have been acclimatized. I've had 5-1/2 week old acclimatized chicks go through nights in the mid 20's F. Yours will be 20 degrees warmer and a week older.

Yes, I did, thank you so much!
