When to let young pullets outside.

[Mountaineer]

I was given three Plymouth Rock barred pullets the three Golden Comet pullets. I believe they are now about 8 weeks old and have a good amount of feathers. The weather here will get down into the 50s at night for the next week or so. Is it OK to put them outside in the hen house to introduce them to the rest of my flock?

My young ones did fine at that temperature a little younger, so I think they will be fine.
Have you removed the heat lamp to acclimate to not having one?

50's around here, is a major heatwave. Do they have a brooder with a low ceiling or heat source?
