when should I stop hatching eggs?

[marymac]

I have a silky that is broody again. I would like to hatch a few marans eggs, but DH says it is getting too cold and I should wait till spring. I want more eggs in spring!! When is it too late in Ohio? She is in a coop with a few other chicks that are 3 mths. old and a silky roo. I am planning on getting rid of my extra roos and moving my pullets in with the other girls soon, before the babies would be born. Would the momma be able to keep them warm enough with out a heat lamp with our coming colder weather?

I would like to know this also. A hen of mine has been broody for two weeks and it started getting cold early here. Can you set up a heat lamp in the coop just in case?

were still hatching granted Im to your right & down south a bit more

It depends on your coop tho, I plan on running a heat lamp out to mine but not "heating the coop" just a warm spot. Mine are all out in the coop by 4 weeks . My last batch will hopefully

hatch Oct 5 so they wont go out till Nov 5.
