Is this box big enough or should i use a bigger one tIt's warm enough if they have a huddle box.
All it is is a box on its side with the side and bottom flaps cut off and the top flap hanging down with lots of fluffy warm bedding in it. The chicks will go in there and keep each other warm with their body heat.
By closing the garage windows before the temperature starts to drop, you should be able to maintain an ambient temperature in the garage overnight that shouldn't drop below 80 if it's in the mid 90's during the day. That is plenty warm for them in a huddle box.
I'd definitely open up windows to allow excess heat out during the day. Try not to let it get hotter than 90 in the garage.
