Tucson Easter Eggers ready for coop?

[MacPara]

I have a pair of Easter Eggers sitting in the brooder and that seems to get smaller and smaller every day. They are exactly 4 weeks old now, only partially feathered and I am wondering how much longer I can keep them entertained in the brooder. The coop and run are almost ready for move-in and I am wondering if the recent temps are getting to a point where I can safely transfer them outside. We get about 55F at night and, of course, 90+ during the day now but with a few cooler days still where it drops to 47-50F. I think this is too cool for them to be ok. What do you all think?

Are you currently providing supplemental heat and, if so, in what form (light, brooder plate, mama heat pad, etc)? Can you show a photo of their current stage of feathering?

I am still providing heat at night to keep the brooder above 80F using a dimmed red heat bulb on one side of the brooder. They usually sleep on the opposite side which I interpret as feeling too hot closer to the lamp. The EEs have down on necks and heads and their bellies. The rest is feathered. I can try to upload some current pictures when I get home in a few hours.

Mine are 3 weeks old and I recently transferred them outside to the outdoor coop. My temps are roughly the same. During the day I have a heat pad that I put inside a pillow case layed out for the on the ground near the coop if they choose to go warm up. I also put the heat pad at night in the coop on the highest temp for them. I do not use a heat lamp due to my fear of fire. Above the heating pad I have hung a few feather dusters from a string across the top of the coop so they feel as if they are surrounded by warms if needed. They have been out for four days now and done perfectly well. Hope this helps.
