Putting chicks outside?

I've been doing that with my 3 week olds, with high around 90 and low around 75. I have 14 so they can keep each other warm if they need to, but they do not sleep that close together. They actually spread out a bit more than mine usually do. Just make sure there is no draft on them at night.

Thanks for all the info! I left them outside last night with out a heat lamp and they did fine! I was a nervous wreck though!!

Awesome! I bet that is a huge relief to you! I can't wait to get mine outside (once my husband builds our coop!).

It was a relief.. Somewhat! I miss their peeps, smell and dust in my bedroom! As weird as that may sound..

That is wonderful, happy to hear they are doing well. Sorry for my rant if you can't tell I HATE TX heat. Wish I could move but my whole family is here

I agree with the other posts. They should be fine.
