My "big babies" have been outside for a week now. I did an 8x4 coop with 8x15 run & mine have been fine. Not a single loss. No electric way out there so no heat lamps. They range in age from 5-10 weeks so were 4-9 weeks when they went out. I probably have quite a few more out there than you do & 20+ of them are big fat meaties, but I did the same thing last year & only put out 4-10 at a time & they did fine. I tossed out somewhere between 70 & 100 this time. (Yes, I now that's too many for my coop, but they are still small & most are for sale or will be butchered in a few weeks so by the time they grow out & need the space there will be plenty of room.) They spend most of their day out in the run scrounging in the dirt for the feed we throw down to keep the broilers up & moving so they don't just sit next to the bowl & gorge themselves all day. It also helps spread them out during feeding so everyone gets a chance at the food. They are such pigs!!!I am doing the biggest happy dance ever! I am so glad to say that our coop and run are finally done!!!! Moved the big girls outside. Hoping I don't wake up to chick-cicles tomorrow. Made it as draft free as possible and put lots of bedding down. Fingers crossed it all goes well!!

We have a 4x6 coop and a 13x16 run. The girls are 6weeks old and there are only 4 out there. Lol!
