I have a related question to the snippet below. I have a hen setting a dozen eggs. It's been unusually cold where we are in Southern CA. Down into the high 20s / low 30s at night. The hen's in a cage partially covered with a towel, so she's out of the wind but still in a pen outside. The hen is a first time setter and has pancaked out to cover the eggs, but she doesn't come off the nest for food on cold days. Should I be concerned about her? The cold? The chicks? I've had hens hatch out chicks before, but never when it was this cold. Thanks.
