Welcome to BYC. It all depends upon your ambient temperature . Can you provide a heat source in the coop ?

Welcome to our FUNomenal Community!
Once your chicks have grown in their feathers, you can let them out full time. If it has been chilly like is has been here, you will need to provide a heat source.

Yes, if I move the heat lamp from the brooder.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens best case when they have feathers would help to

Just be careful with the heat lamp.....carefully arrange it so that there isn’t a fire hazard......a brooder plate works great in coops!
