Guestroom vs garage

[missmychicks]

Getting my first 3 chicks tonight, and have my brooder all set up. I'm thinking of putting it in the guest room, so they have a window but could also place in the garage (just cooler in there, and no windows to let them get used to day and night.
Any thoughts one way or the other?

I put mine in the guest room. Our garage stays around 45 degrees and didn't want to risk them getting too cold.

Is your coop ready? If yes, you could add brooding outdoors as a possibility. That eliminates the mess in the house or garage. Where are you located?

Husband is starting the coop this weekend, we are outside of Seattle so still a little cold and wet for them ( but will be 60 degrees with no rain in Friday! Woohoo!!)

Get him going... They grow very quickly.

I set our brooder up in my reloading room 'cause one window faces East the other South West. Using a ceramic bulb so they get natural day and night.

We also are outside of Seattle. I think in a week or so, they can go to the garage but I chose my spare room to put them in because I'm not so cold when I go to visit them.
