When can chicks go outside?

[The_Flock]

I have 13 - 1.5 week old chicks and they are growing well. They have wing feathers and wee tail feathers now. They are starting to get shoulder feathers. They look so cute. I was wondering if they would be able to go outside under the trampoline, on a non-windy day for short bursts? The temps lately are between 25-34°C.
Or should I wait for them to get all their feathers before letting them go out?
I thank you guys so much for any help you can offer. ❤

I currently have chicks that are less than a week old. They are being raised by a broody hen. She took them out today, and they spent all day scratching and pecking at all sorts of things. It's actually important for chicks to have access to the outdoors at a young age so that they can build up their immunity. I think, as long as it's warm enough, they should be fine.

I got my small chicks in April and took them outside for a few hours each day and it was still cold or chilly. They were fine.

I have a broody hen right now. I wish I would've known she was going broody. Lol. I could've put these chicks under her.
Thank you for answering my question. I'll be letting them out in the nice weather.

The big thing will be to keep a very very close eye. At that age they can get themselves into all sorts of trouble.

Yes even things that SHOULD be safe they find a way.

They can go out during the day in fair weather just not over night they're still to little

Watch the weather too. They are to young to go through a rainstorm.

A broody will take them out in cold weather....but they have her to duck under and warm up as needed.
My broody had hers out in the run with snow on the ground. They would dart out peck for a few minutes then back under mum.
