Temperature For Chicks

[RedneckRebel]

I am wanting to hatch some eggs. I am wondering what the temperature has to be outside for chicks to be alright. Does anyone know?

They need extra warmth until they are well or fully feathered, about 6 weeks of age. During their first week of life, they need to be kept around 90 degrees F. At 6 weeks they can be outdoors without added warmth.

They can be brooded outdoors, though:
