Without me knowing, one of my hens just hatched 6 chicks. It November in central Florida and is starting to get cold. Tonight it’s going to be 28 degrees. High will be 58. The rest of the week will be low 30-40 and high 60-70. Will she be able to keep them all alive?
 
Definitely! We had a mama hatch eggs in December in Indiana, then again in February. Just monitor them, but you'll see fuzzy heads pop out of her wings. They'll be super toasty under her.
 
If you have a big enough box, on its side, she could hang out in it at night--like a nest box on the ground? To make you more comfortable. I dont know what your set up looks like, so Im just going off my own experience.
