Welcome. First, you can't breed chickens. There are no documented cases of a successful breeding with a human.

You have the basics. 1 rooster can service about 10 hens. you can incubate between 1-7 days. Lockdown is day 18 of the incubation process. Candling is a method of looking in your egg during incubation using darkness and a strong light.

There is a wealth of information here. There is a search function tha brings up past answers to common questions and a learning center that digs a lot deeper than my basic answers.

Welcome and enjoy.
 
click on Learning Center at the top of the page.

That should cover most of the basics.
