I've got a 7 1/2 month old Australorp. She's always like to sit in the nest for a long time when laying. Now, I think she's gone broody. She's been there for hours, and goes back even when I push her out of the box. (Which is good, because she lays the smallest eggs of my 10....)
Anyway, being September 11th, is it a little late to start a batch of chicks? I've always wanted to try some, even if they are mutts. It takes 3 weeks if I remember right. We live in Salt Lake, and by the time winter gets here in First to Mid-November they'll only be 3-5 weeks old.
I raised 15 in my basement, and that ain't happening again. Too dusty! - Will they be ok in a garage with a small heater on them or should I wait until spring?
