I'm kind of worried.....

[The Red Rooster]

I have a broody hen. She chose to lay her eggs in the shed (Its had holes and it gets drafty and very cheap) its COLD here in SD and its blowing mega winds. She gets off to eat and drink, and i'm worried the eggs are going to get to cold.

What are her chances to hatch those eggs?

As long as it's not super cold, and she only leaves the nest for short periods, there shouldn't be a problem. You could put her in one of those deep rubbermaids with some litter and her eggs and bring her in (with some food and water) or put her somewhere out of the wind.
