I have some dominecker hens(5), a few maran pullets (3) and 2 buff orpington pullets. I'm planning on culling all of the roosters except for one really pretty Americauna roo this winter. I'm curious to see what kind of chicks I would get from him and the different ladies. Just backyard chicks. Can I expect to get chicks this spring? All of the hens will be mature by February. What are the chances that with 10 hens at least one of them will go broody? Anything I can do to increase my chances of getting some babies? Otherwise I'll probably end up buying some chicks as soon as they start showing up in the feed store in the spring. I'm really excited about having some little chicks running around.
