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.

Actually, it's awfully early for chicks in NY unless you have them in a heated building. It is wicked cold and windy out there tonight. 19, wx says it's going down to 12 or lower, and the wind goes right through you.
