    Will chicks hatch too early in this heat?

    I did place a fan in my broody's coop however facing outward to suck OUT air that was just getting even more hot, as a nice breeze entered the vent on the opposite side.

    Will chicks hatch too early in this heat?

    Will chicks hatch too early in this heat?

    Will chicks hatch too early in this heat?

    I have read everywhere that most experiences with a broody has chicks hatching early, even more so I hear they hatch early in the heat. We are having one hot summer, warm nights and now the temps are over 100 and going to be so the next week. They are to hatch in 8 days, but should I be checking...
