Whats the latest date it is advisable to hatch chicks?

We have a 5x6 coop we could keep them in along with a heat lamp if cold weather is a problem. Any tips or advice? We would be getting small hatches as we only have a styrofoam incubator....thanks

I have hatched in dec. just depends how long you are willing to keep them in your home and then under a heat lamp in a garage or coop!!

Oh, ok thats great

. We have a nice closet in the laundry room that will work perfectly for the chicks, and then the 5x6 coop once they get old enough with a heating lamp. I wont be hatching very big groups of chicks, so it shouldnt be too big a deal. Thanks
