moving pullets

[Saroco]

How old should my chicks be before I move them from the brooder to the henhouse?

p.s- Would the smell of car exhaust hurt them at all if I keep them in the garage?

YES car exhaust is not good for anyone...

I would move them out when they are stable... as in eating fine... everyone looks healthy... because I live in a cold climate I make sure they have the adult feathers before moving them unless its in the dead heat of the summer

If you go to the home page and look up "raising chickens 101" it will tell you how warm to keep them at different stages of their growth.
