Does anyone know if new chicks with a broody hen are OK in this weather (snow and wind)?

I shall never hatch this early again..
 
As long as the broody has a good, solid draught free coop, they will be OK. Unless you have a specific aim in mind, it's best to hatch in nature's time which is from mid April onwards.
 
Yes, I've learnt my lesson. I thought my broody, being so broody, knew what she was doing.
 
I have a broody too and at risk of horrifying my fellow women - hormones aren't always the best things to trust. :D
