RE: Raising and Hatching Chickens Off Grid - New Generation of CHICKS!
Hello good video, but I am confused on the reds not being a good breeder. So, what do you do if you are not going to buy new red?

Good brooder, not breeder. They lay well, but they don't hatch and raise their babies well. You can take their eggs and put them under a broody buff orpington though, and they'll hatch and raise them.
You take the eggs from the red and stick them under a buff who is brooding. The buff will raise them as her own. Easy! :)
