when do I let these guys outside?

[pamarino17]

My little chicks seem to be doing well. I built them a brooder and now I have to start the coop. I'm starting week three in a couple of days so I think I've got another 2-3 weeks before I put them outside, right?

Also, do you think I need a new feeder and waterer at that point, or can I continue to use the ones I have?

I put mine outside here in north Tx when they were a month old... but I put a heat sorce in the
(MiniCoop) to use on cold nights. They are just fine out there.

I would say depends on the weather but with a heat sorce and no drafts your good to go. Heck chickens have been hatching and rearing chicks outside for.... well who knows.

Good luck.
