I have 7 week old chicks, we live in Maine and the temps outside are now around 50-60 degrees F during the day and around 40 degrees F at night. Is this a safe temp to move them outside? The are fully feathered and we tested some time outside today. When I went outside to check on them before...

Here is Phoebe with *her* mother and father, Rex and BB enjoying some strawberries at 10 days. *She* started developing some...
