Outside shelter

[Kanga77510]

So we think the babies might be big enough to sleep outside. We're in Texas and it stays in the 60s at night, maybe 50s at the lowest. We have a run built for the babies, but I'm stuck on the coop idea. What would be good. Would a rubbermaid tote work well for now?

Sure, anything they can get out of the wind and rain. Do they have most of their adult feathers? I would put them out if they do, as long as their coop is secure from the night prowlers. If you are concerned about cool nights, you could always hang a heat lamp over them, but 60's isn't cold if they have some real feathers and some nice soft bedding like pine chips or straw.
