Should I let my chicken hatch eggs?

[talkinboutchickens]

Hello,
if you don't want any roos then I suggest buying some sexlinked chicks from TSC, with sexlinked chicks their gender is guaranteed. My favorite sexlinked breeds are sapphire gems and black sexlinks but there are also red stars, golden comets, cinnamon queens, ISA browns, plymouth/barred rocks, legbars, and more. It could be possible for her to hatch them inside but I don't know what you could use for a nesting box...

Another thing is I see people say “aggression breeds aggression”? So if she raises chicks that aren’t her does this still apply?

I believe, and don't quote me but I think that'll only happen if they are her biological chicks.

Since you don't have a rooster, her eggs are not fertile therefore cannot hatch into chicks. Instead you can buy hatching eggs online for her to sit on.

Nice I‘ll search about it thanks I hope she still trust me after

I was worried too but I think if they trust you they will still trust you after they have babies! My one hen when I was holding her baby close to the ground she came over and got on my other arm! She wasn’t worried just wanted in on the snuggles!
