That is a wonderful site with great info.

When I forget the link to that site, I just search "chicken chart" and it comes right up on google. Just a tip.

if you notice a hen go broody can you stick her with a rooster so that her eggs are fertile or do you have to do it before and hope she goes broody?

Once a hen goes broody they stop laying eggs (or mine do anyways). So a hen would need to be with a rooster for about a week or two prior to ensure that the eggs being laid were truly fertile.
