Two of my chicks have learned to fly out of their pen

[Lord_Maren]

I have some that are 3 weeks and some that are 5. The 5-week ones are learning to fly. I was wondering if it was okay to move them to a temporary coop in the run until they're big enough to mix with the adults. I've done some searching around about whether you can move a chick that young outside, but everything I found concerned doing so when it was cold. Overnight lows here have been in the 70s and high in the upper 80s to upper 90s. When I check on them at night before bed, I don't even see the 3-week-olds under the heating plate, but I'm also worried that they wouldn't be ok if they didn't have it (I don't have power in the coop). Would love some experienced advice.

Time to go outside.

In your temperatures the three week olds can go outside without heat now as long as they are separated from your adults.

They love it. It started raining pretty hard though, so hopefully the dummies figure out to go inside and huddle up.
