Good morning! I have a tiny bantam hen who has been broody for over a month now. It’s winter here and the first time she sat on her egg, the other chickens kicked her off so the egg never hatched (too cold). She was still broody so we put two eggs underneath her from a different hen and she has been sitting on them. They are about a week away from hatching, if all has gone according to plan. It’s cold here, 1-35 degrees F. My question is, if they manage to hatch, should I bring the chicks inside in a warm brooder? If so, should I bring the broody hen too? This is my first time hatching chickens. Thanks!
