When Can Chicks Go Outside ??

[merrymutts]

Temps here in Mid-Missouri now in the upper 80's and 90's during the day.

I have some baby chicks about a week old....when should they be able to have access to their outside pen ?

Whenever you want. I usually take my chicks out during the day at that size. Do make sure they have access to some shade. They're bad at regulating their body temperatures and can get too hot as easily as they get too cold.

Building off the other reply, I kept mine inside until they were like 8 weeks old but they can go outside about after a week or two
