Is it too cold to move older chicks to garage?

[OrchidDragon]

I am new to raising chickens and my three week old chicks are growing so fast! Can I put them in the garage or is it too cold? Right now the chicks are in a 50 gallon tote in the house but I can make a bigger brooder in the garage. The garage is insulated but not heated. I have room heaters I can use and the brooder lamp. The nights where I live are still in the high 30’s/low 40’s. I am also concerned with the cold concrete floor. Maybe I can use flattened cardboard as a floor? Any advice, anyone?

My chicks went outside in a hutch (with a heat lamp) when they were 2 weeks old. We've had nights down to 15°, snow and wind since they've gone outside and they've been just fine. They have a 100 watt bulb in their lamp. As long as the brooder you put them in is free of drafts and they have the spot under the lamp that's an appropriate temp, I wouldn't worry about heating the rest of the space at all. Good luck
