When’s a good time to leave these girls outside? In Michigan an it’s 30 degrees outside. Their fully feathered (only in the coop so I can clean their tub in my house)

When it comes to letting your feathered friends enjoy the great outdoors, temperature matters—especially in chilly Michigan! At 30 degrees, fully feathered chickens can typically withstand the cold for short periods, but their comfort is key. Chickens have a natural insulation system with their feathers, yet they still appreciate a cozy environment. If they’re only outside for a brief stretch while you clean their coop, they can handle it, but be mindful of wind chill and wet conditions that may cause discomfort. Monitor their behavior closely; if they seem to be clucking up a storm or huddling together, it might be time to bring them back inside. After all, happy hens make for happy coops!
