I have 12 due on Monday the 26th. They are under a setting hen. And also, I have 10 left in an LG still air which are due on the 30th. I'm not sure what breed of chickens. The eggs were given to me by 2 friends. I've been turning them manually 2-3 times a day for two weeks now. This is my first time to hatch.

dont worry its my first time with chickens too ive tryed goose eggs and the last one that got to lockdown died trying to hatch so im really hoping it will work

On Monday, I expect to have chicks hatching from my setting hen. What is the best way to handle them? Do I remove them from the hen as they hatch or do I leave them with her until all are hatched. The hen is in a chicken house that is about 4' by 6' and is totally enclosed. Do I need to heat it? Our nighttime temps are in the 50's-60's and daytime up into the 80's? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

its best to leave them all with her she knows what she's doing and her body temp is sufficient enought to keep the chicks warm and get them flufffed nicely

Thank you

Good luck everyone!
