Depending on what kind of weather you guys are having, I would think 2 months is plenty old enough to go outside... We've been in the low 50s at night here in my area, and they have been out (inside a secure, draft free housing of course) without benefit of a heatlamp since they were 8 weeks and they've been fine. I considered it at 7 weeks, but our temps were still sometimes dropping into the low 40s then...
