Abandoned nest started to hatch. Now what?

[luvallmychicks]

A friend of mine had a hen abandon a nest and a day later they are starting to hatch. She asked me to come get them and I'm wondering what to do. I turned on my incubator. I figure I'll put them in there for a few days to see what happens. It's to cold at night to leave them alone in the nest.

Sounds like a good Idea

I would put them in the incubator and get a brooder ready. They may still make it.
