Warmth is primary but predators are also primary. What are the critters in your area? Look it up and tell us. Also what is the size of your coop and space. How insulated is the soil/concrete/flooring? What are you feeding your chicks? Do you have antibiotics for coccidia etc. I am a natural and free-ranger with my chickens but as a veterinarian so many variables determine you answer. If you live here let them out!
