Time for the outdoor coop?

[Sandstorm]

I have some 4 week old chicks and some 6 or 7 week old chicks. I was wondering if its ok to put the 4 week old chicks out in the coop overnight yet? Some are not fully feathered on their heads. The coop is an old shed. I have some plastic tote nesting boxes with bedding that should keep them warm. I have a thermometer inside the coop and its usually around 50 degrees inside the shed during the night.

Yesterday I turned off their heat lamp for a couple hours then on for a couple hours during the day and they slept without the heat lamp on all night. All day today they have been out in the run.

Do I need to keep them indoors a few more nights without the lamp or are they Ok to just put them out now? I dont want to move them to fast and shock them. I would appriciate any advice. Thank you!

I think they are fine to go out now and I have done the same thing... except my daytime high rarely even hits 65.

They look pretty comfy to me.

I brought them inside for the night but I think I will be putting them out in the coop tomorrow. Thank you!

They are feathered out the rule of thumb letting them stay out if you have a secure coop let them be out but in their coop at night
