As I get ready for chicks in the spring, I keep reading that chicks are very dirty/dusty and will ruin a room in your house if you brood them indoors. My mind immediately began considering an attached, but unheated garage which stays around freezing or above in cold weather.
I bought an ecoglow heat plate for them for safety reasons, however, it states that it won't work below 50 degrees. That means the garage won't work.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom on what worked well for them? I'm hoping to move them outside around 6 weeks of age when they're fully feathered.
