Hello.

I have 5 pekin chicks that are roughly 2 months old, maybe a bit more. What i would like to know is when do they not neeed heat, when can they move onto growers, when can they go outside? Thanksyou
 
Chicks can move outside when they are fully feathered, usually at around 6 weeks of age. It is better to gradually reduce their brooder temperature and only take them out during the day, when it's slightly warmer out, than plunge them into cold temperatures directly from a warm brooder.
They are old enough to eat grower food now.
