Would this make a nice chick? Would it be likely to go broody then just a red star alone? (I know that with red star's hatchlings, they lose the super-laying gene)
Would it be a good mum?
Also, I saw our barred rock rooster mount a few of our hens today while free-ranging (we have five hens but only one lays eggs: what he did was jump on the back of the hen for like 5 seconds max, and jump off, to which the hen would shake her feathers and carry about pecking in the garden), does this mean that we are guaranteed to have fertilized eggs that I can incubate?
