Broody hen 30°f at night

[Athiena14]

I found one of my silkies deciding it was time to be broody again. I feel like this is not the right time for this. >.> would it be okay to let her hatch these out, or give her some day old chicks?

She will not keep that nest there for sure.

It figures that she's made this decision now! Trying to plan on a broody appearing at the best time is often a joke, at least here.
Given shelter, she may be able to raise chicks just fine regardless of the weather. Mt only concern is that she is a Silkie, and ambient temps matter more than is she had 'normal' feathering.
If you want those chicks, go for it!

If you have the room for the chicks, I would most likely (depending on how long she has been sitting on the nest), take her and the eggs and put her in the coop but in her own area.

The eggs haven't been sat on long so taking them and putting them in the incubator

I'm not sure what this means. Was she rally broody or not? What actually went on? Do you have a question about this?

For your original question you might want to read this thread.
