Cold weather and a broody

[SamCO]

I had my little salmon faverolles that is currently sitting on 4 or 5 eggs. I think they are about 2 weeks. I candled a couple yesterday and they have wiggly chicks inside. I got her nest moved to her own enclosure within the coop and she’s doing well in there, leaving just for a few minutes to go outside and eat and drink.

The weather this week is supposed to drop into the teens for two nights. Do I need to worry about her and her eggs? I figured i can stuff some more straw under her nest box so that the bottom is better insulated.

Any advice?

She'll be fine.

You might read this for inspiration but I agree, she will be fine.
