We had no garage and had our chicks in the house 6 weeks - we changed the bedding each evening only using about 1" or 2" of bedding each time. Placing the chicks in a little box just long enough to dump the other and wipe it out good. It's pretty cold there right now according to my family... prob best not to chance it! I'm from Fla - My Mom is still in Tampa. She said she's never seen it like this in a long long time! Hope you all get better weather, especially since I'll be there next week!!
