I've got a broody red sexlink that I just set 5 eggs under yesterday and I was just reading that over the next couple days we're going to have highs around 90.. The hen is in a small 4'x4' coop, nesting in a milk crate. Is the hot weather going to hurt her or the eggs?
 
It will be ok as long as the little coop is ventilated and not like an oven inside. I set hens in the middle of the summer when it's 105* and the poor hens just stand in the nest and pant but they do their duty.
