My Buff orp Broodies eggs are hatching as we speak. She's sitting on 3 eggs, only one has a hole so far and churping! I'm worried, we have been really cold at night still, should only be in the 20's tonight. Should I bring them in the house? or will they be okay?, and or should I set up light? This is my first experience with a broody hatch! I'm trying not to intervine, but it's very hard...I'm excited!

And....should I have a brood box set up, just in case she's not caring for them properly?

I feel like first time parent, I'm a nervous reck!

This is My first broody hatch, and one of the chicks! It's so cute, I'm so excited and I don't have a clue what to do! I'm hoping atleast the green egg will hatch, how long do you think will between hatchings?

Give her a chance,I had a broody take care of chicks in november she did a great job.
 
The temps at night are still very cold, should be in the 20s tonight. Should I let my broody keep her chick or should I make sure it's under lights, I'm gonna be up all night worried!
