Iv got 4 chicks there 6-7 weeks old now at what age is it safe to put them outside in the coop its been getting down in the 30s at nights and in the 50-60s during the day can they go out or is it to cold ?
 
I had my 8 Brahma's outside for 3 weeks already. My 7 leghorns and 10 Heritage Reds just went outside 3 days ago. But now here in SC it only drops in the 40's now and by Saturday will be in the 70's probably from now on. Today is the coldest. Hi 40's, low 40's. I put mine outside as soon as possible. They are never in the brooder for more than 3-4 weeks. Much healthier for them and they feather sooooo much faster outside. If you have a bunch of them they will stay warm.
