Temperature for 6 week old chicks

They are totally ready to be off any heat..Chickens are tougher than people think.

They are indeed.....hard to really understand that until you've seen it tho.

Thanks everyone. This is my first go round with chicks and there is so much contradicting information out there.

I have 2wo chicks with a broody out there too...it was 19F this morning.
Mama warms them up when needed, different with chicks on their own tho.

Last night it got down to 50, and I didn't hear them peeping, even with the light out. Right now, our coop is on the back patio, since they are not using the run yet. We have a portable run for them and are putting them in that during part of the day to get some outside time. The temps are gradually going to get colder until it hits 30's on Thursday night.

After reading the posts about other chicks being fine, and the gradual decrease, I am thinking they will be fine. Thanks everyone! I will keep an eye on them as it gets colder and see how they react. I am going to build a huddle box today as well.
