Baby chicks outside in cold with hen?

That seems like a pretty big age and size difference to me. It's probably okay to do it if you can be there to watch and make sure that nothing bad happens. Just be careful!

We just had a black star go broody. She was gone for a month, we thought she was eaten and she showed up with some chicks. I think they are half Guinea......
We're going to let her have a go at it!

I think she will just fine raising the chicks out in the coop. If she has gone through incubating all those eggs I think she be just fine with them outside.
