Is 50 degrees outside too cold for 6 week old turkeys?

I only have 2, Timmy and Gobbles, is 50 degrees to cold to put them outside? They are fully feathered, and it's suppose to get up in the 60's today. It is windy, but they will be out of the wind. Thanks in advance to for any advice you can give. ;-)

Yes, with only 2 poults, I wouldn't do it. If they were in a boxed in brooder with a bunch of others and could keep eachother warm, that would be different.

To be on the safe side - get them some heat. Our wild strain could probably fair well taking in their instinct to cover up if cold.

I agree. Bring them in tonight.
