move em out

[Smiles]

Do I need to wait 5 or six weeks to move the BW chicks from the brooder to the pens? It has been almost 4 weeks all look good and night time temperatures are in the 60's. Would it hurt to move them at 4 weeks and put the heat lamp in the big cages outside and set the thermostat on about 70? The pens are 10 X 3 with wire floors and on one end it is boxed in with plywood(4 feet)  except the bottom.

Wait till they are 6 weeks at a minimum 60 degree temps is way to cold at night they do not have all feathers yet
