so I wanted to take the chicks out, however it’s about 35 f right now.
They all feathered out. Four are amberlink (being more cold hardy I’m sure they’d be more alright) and four red junglefowl, I worry for the former as they aren’t as cold resistant from what I have seen.

I also have 6 khaki Campbell ducklings I wanted to let outside, they don’t have feathers yet but are larger and have handled the cold better than the chicks so far.

I know this seems like a trivial question, but what’s your thoughts?
 
What age? I moved mine out at 5 weeks, low temps in 30s they did just fine. They have down jackets!
 
I brought my chicks and ducks out at 45 degrees about a week ago. The chicks seemed fine, the ducks were quivering so inside we came.
