My chicks are about 4 weeks old now, and I just got finished building my coop for them. I was wondering if it was ok if they went outside for like an hour or so? I wasnt sure if they were too young or not. I brought them out to the coop today and yesterday for about 20 minutes, and they had a blast. Let me know your opinions on this. Thanks so much!

If its not too cold they'll be fine, lots of folks put their chickens out at 4 weeks - just be careful of drafts and cold.
My chicks are outside every day - all day if its warm enough - they LOVE it - been outside since around a week and a half or so when we got their tractor done.
(If my coop was done - mine would be out there all night too)
