Living in Bay Area in California. Temps range from mid 40's to 50's right now. My chicks, aged 6 and 7 weeks, currently reside in my dining room and I turned off heat lamp completely today. I take them outside everyday to acclimate them even more. I am thinking of moving them out to the shed without heat by the end of the week. What do you think? Does this sound reasonable at these temps? If so, then if the temps start to drop, at what temp would I worry about it being too cold and for how long would I worry as far as their age goes? They all look pretty much feathered to me. Is 8 weeks the magic number?
