Heat and hen on eggs ?

[farhan1997]

My hen is sitting on some eggs which are to hatch this saturday/sunday. My problem is that she nested in a cardboard box in my garage(i added some bedding in there and made a hole on side for her). The temperature here in south india is 100-104 F. She spends a lot of time away from eggs atleast an hour a day(4-5 15 min breaks). Any tips to keep her cool in heat?
I plan to move her and her chicks inside the house once they hatch.

Is it any cooler in the garage?
Heck those eggs almost don't need the broody if it's that hot,
Might be why she's getting off so often.
I'd give her some electrolytes....cool plain water too.
