The hens will keep the chicks at the required 95º during the night. We just can't do that right now because of the 5 roosters that we have. They will kill the chicks quickly. So once we get rid of the 4 of the most aggressive roosters, we will let the hens sit on eggs. But only select hens will be allowed to sit on eggs. We do have a section just for chicks so once they hatch and are feathered, we will just move then over there. Solar is one option that we are thinking about, but will likely never happen. Just not enough money to pay for it. I don't even have the money to pay the extra money that is on our electric bill this month thanks to this 'experiment'. So my post in my aquarium thread may get even worse when our electricity gets shut off and we lose internet... I love hard times...</blockquote>
