We need to move the 26 chicks to the garage (too much dust) will the dust in the garage harm the furnace?

Had to cull our little chick, We tried antibiotics, wonder dust, vitamins, gatorade and time. She had a tumor like thing growing on back of her neck that was getting larger. She was struggling to breathe, and just not thriving. I hate this part, only 3 weeks old. I am blessed that the...
