Week 4: Can My Chicks Live Outside Now?

[Jonas Fox]

My chickadoos are about 4 weeks old now and have lots of feathers. It's been very warm here in Southern California and I'm wondering if it's time for my girls to start living out in their coop.

Here are some pictures for reference: https://imgur.com/gallery/AfXEitV

The Lowest temperature has been 55 Fahrenheit at the early morning, usually closer to 58. Will my girls be warm enough or should I setup a heat lamp?

Thanks for the input fam. ^_^

I would say yes, I think that they are old enough, but since the winter months are still to come, you should put in a heat lamp for when it gets colder.
