when to go outside

[barrioslauren]

I have 6 baby chicks about 7-8 weeks old. During the day, its about 70-80 degrees right now and at night it can drop to 45. Can I let the girls out yet?
I do not want to put a heating source in the coop because of the fire danger.
Thanks!

They are definitely old enough to go outside! Have you weaned them form the lamp?

They are old enough to go out as long as you weaned them from the heat lamp.
