Springtime is the usual time to start a hatch. It depends on where you are and the weather conditions. Plan for the clutch to start incubation when temperatures reach above zero continually so the newly hatched chicks do not suffer from extreme cold. Naturally brooded chicks will use the broody hen for a heat source for about 3 weeks after hatch.
