too old

[brigitte41]

my orpington hens will be 3 years old next year, will it be too late to hatch eggs from 3 year olds, could the chicks be deformed etc. or will they be ok, do you think? wanted to do it this year but too much else going on. thanks

I've hatched eggs from 3 year old hens with no issues.
