Now what, my mistake, a hen of mine went broody, she has been on eggs, around 18 days or so, now, on the day of hatch (if any are fertile and alive), it will be very cold, around 11 degrees outside. They are in the coop, in a rabbit cage, 3 sides and top and bottom are covered, not the front, it is wire. If they hatch (I only candled a few, 1 looked like a yolk, 1 look like it had a chick, there are around 10- I only did this very quickly today, she only got off for a minute to take a drink, so I couldn't look at all of them), do they have to come inside my house or can I put a heat light on one end of the cage, or do I need to enclose the entire front, or part of the front to keep them warm enough. I have no idea what to do, never thought it would end up this cold
