Does this "hen" lay eggs? Maybe it is a rooster.

 

[bops]

I have only witnessed her lay one egg in, maybe four/five months!

well obviously it's not a rooster

non- hatchery birds are usually way more likely to go broody. Orpingtons, silkies, & game hens are incubators with legs.

What is a heritage? I've heard a couple people mention it and I don't know what it means.

And does it matter that I have 3 types of hens and a different breed of rooster? Do I just get mutt chickens?

My Brahmas haven't ever gone broody. This year it's been my Australorpe, Orpingtons, and RIR.

My Aussie has just finished hatching our first clutch of chicks. Very good mama hens.
