My new white leghorn rooster. When will he breed??

Do you plan to use an incubator to hatch eggs, or do you have a broody hen?

From the breeds you listed, I am guessing that you do not have a broody hen. You might try to find a broody hen to hatch the eggs for you. Breeds like Buff Orpington, Silkie, Speckled Sussex, and Light Brahma are some that will go go broody. Maybe your neighbor has a broody hen you could borrow.

 

I am hoping that if I leave the eggs once I know they're fertile so a clutch could build up, and one of the hens will want to sit.
But you're right, I've read my breeds aren't the best. And all I have that's even close is the brown leghorn who sat on some infertile eggs for a little over a day.
I'd rather not do an incubator because what I want is to have the chicks hatch w/ the momma hen (that's if any go broody) and then fence off a chunk of the run and raise them there, so the hens can see them but not hurt the little chicks, so I don't have to reintroduce them to my flock.
My neighbor has a bunch of broody hens so maybe I could borrow one for a while or have her hens hatch my eggs..

It is possible that your Brown Leghorn could go broody, but Leghorns are the least broody breeds. Your Rhode Island Reds would not be much better as brooders, most likely.

I think the best idea is to borrow, trade, or buy a broody hen from your neighbor so you can hatch out the eggs of all your hens naturally. It's the easiest way when you have a broody hen.

Good luck with expanding your flock.
