Why does the mother hen sit on the fertilized egg?
She is brooding or incubating the egg. This means she is using her own body temperature and humidity to develop the embryo inside the egg. This development takes 21 days and after hatch the broody hen will protect the little chicks until they are old enough to join the flock.

What temperature incubating chicken eggs?
The incubation temperature should be at a steady 100F for the entire 21 day wait for the chick. Once hatched, the brooder box should be maintained at 100F and you slowly reduce the temperature over several weeks until the chicks can stay comfortable at the environmental temperature.

Do three week old chicks need infrared lights?
No, after 3 weeks the chicks should have enough feathering to do a continual drop in brooder temperature. If ambient (outside) temperatures are above 60F then it is fine to reduce heat. Rule of thumb is small drops in brooder temperature daily until the chicks get used to the cooler temperatures.
