1. dont hatch out chicks unless you have homes for them afterwards.. this is a link about pet chickens http://www.gomestic.com/Pets/Unusual-Pets-Chickens.76299 you need an incubator for hatching and it should have a guide on temps.
2. I believe it is 97.9 degrees but you better double check that,just type into your computer baby chicks and follow through their and it should help you,Good Luck on this.
3. baby chicks are easy to raise the tempture is around 85 %- 90% i would ck for sure i could be wrong they need to stay under a heat lamp the entire time plus it doesnt hurt to turn over but be careful not to crack, after they hatch they will need water and feed right aways. since they wont have a mommie to show them what to do. also need to keep lamp on around 65-70. they still need to stay warm. make sure the lamp is like in aconnor not on intire nest area since they will get hot this way they can return to warm area later if do get cold. nesting area should have wood chips not straw or hay these to are not good for baby chicks. to make this easy 4 u look up on your computer 4 all the info u couldwant look under ;;;; rasing baby chicks hopes this is of some helgood luck.
