Chicks and broody hen in Outside coop (Help)

[Chelsea-85]

Hi everyone,

I have two broody pullets sitting under hen. Although tomorrow is day 21 for one of the two broodies, I don't have any hope regarding the eggs under her. Yes, just as a matter of precaution, I wonder whether the newly born chicks with their mom can survive in the coop located outside. Should I leave them outside with their mom? Or should I take them inside the house (in case any hatches)?
The weather is a bit cold now in Kurdistan; it reaches 36 Fahrenheit at night sometimes.

Btw, the coop is wrapped by plastic all around, except the door which is open (uncovered).

I appreciate your help.

A good broody will be fine with them out there.

If your hen and chicks aren't diseased and are dry, then any chicks should be perfectly fine in that weather. Provide clean, dry bedding and make sure there's no dampness along to top of your coop, or smell of ammonia (since it's wrapped in plastic, I'm worried that you could be trapping poisonous fumes in there with them. Chicken poop's rather toxic.) Good luck on the hatch!

Thank you dear, you mean I should leave them alone and take care of hygiene.

Precisely! Sick chicks are vulnerable to cold. Healthy chicks adjust quickly.

Dear, actually the pullet is fine and healthy now, I don't know if any hatches though. I have provided dry and clean sand for bedding which she likes. The coop is made of wood and the surrounding is covered by plastic nylon. Until now, (for about 5 months) they have never had any problem with the cover.

Thank you dear again

I hope they will hatch and end up healthy thank you dear for your reply.
