Time for an outside pen?

This is my weather.

And these are my chicks. They’re are five weeks old.

I let them out to play today and it’s so nice I hate the thoughts of putting them back in the brooder.

mine are 2 weeks old and spending full days outside in a 4x4 hardware cloth playpen. they have their heat plate but rarely use it. temps here in the northeast have been 55-75 in the last week. they are loving it. I’ve been putting them back in the plastic tote brooder indoors in the evenings. they won’t fit in it much longer but so far it’s alright! when our run is finished they can go in there for the day!

Is there a particular reason they're not in the coop already?

I do see a couple who are a little slower-feathering, but if they have a draft-free place to snuggle up they ought to be fine.

The coop wasn’t actually ready yet.

Thank you both!
