Move broody bantam cochin hatching chicks

[christinethemac]

I have a broody cochin that is hatching 10 chicks. It's her second time. She is in an egg box in the coop and i put a makeshift cage around it to keep others out. It's probably 2 x 2. Can i move her and the eggs into the house into a larger cage about a week before hatch date so that it will not be so hot and we can actually enjoy the chicks more once they hatch? Then move them back out when they're a few weeks old still keeping in that cage?

Most broody hens resist being moved until the chicks hatch. I can't imagine having that stinky broody poop in the house too. I would wait until they all hatch than move her, but if there's a big temperature difference from inside to outside it could cause problems too.
