Hatching
@lazy gardener, thanks for your in depth response. We currently park our cars outside our garage but experience something similar because they sit under a sick tree that sheds a fine mist of sap all over. At some point we will cut it down, but thank you for the warning. I would hate for something similar to happen to all the non junk stuff in my garage before it got put properly away. I was entertaining the idea about brooding outdoors, but couldn't make all the pieces work, which is why I thought the garage was my best option. With your suggestion of using "mama heating pad," brooding outdoors isn't just the most convenient, but it makes the most sense. I'm going to be doing that method when I get baby chicks!
As for noisy hens, thanks for the warning there too. I guess since I've visited three sets of chickens since beginning my research, I didn't observe any of them making more than a "warble." But I guess I didn't visit after any if them laid an egg either! I did a little more research, and I think the most important thing is they don't make much noise at night. The neighbors that would be most affected are gone most of the day and also have dogs (that bark in the middle if the night--just saying!). I've put it on my to do list to talk to them the next time I see them.
My mom has an appointment with her doctors this Thursday, so we will see what they say. I'll keep everyone who's interested posted.
