Can a mother hen keep chicks warm during a long freezing winter?

thats all i was trying to say. they are your chickens and if you want your little chicks to suffer and your hens get pulled down trying to take care of them , then go ahead. i will wait till spring . the only hens i have that get broody are my cubalayas and they must be smart enough not to get broody in the winter.
