will you be using purebreds or attempting to create or improve on certain breeds? Generally people set up breeding pens of maybe 2-3 hens and one rooster, so that the hens are not socializing with any other roo.. Then you collect and date the eggs and use your form of short hand to identify who the mama is. Will you be using an incubator or hoping to have some broody hens to do the work for you?
