    When breeding i think it is best to give your birds minimum hours 12 day light but 14 plus is better and make shore there in good condition, Heating is not always necessary but if to cold some hen birds can get egg bound with fatal consequences,mark
    Without heat and light I would pair up mid april time giving you till september for breeding plenty of time to get a couple of rounds in whilst days are long and temp warm
    got to agree with both Mark and Dave I would wait for 4-6 weeks yet seen snow & frost in March and early April many a time

    if they want to breed they will whether its in a nest box or seed hopper or in the corner I would let her lay and then replace the eggs with dummy eggs she will sit for 2-3 weeks before she starts to lay again if you just remove the eggs she will lay again

    I would try and foster the chick out because if the hen has started to lay again it is possible that she has or is losing interest in the chick and may stop feeding i find that lone chicks have a high mortality rate the parents need to be kept busy feeding 2-4 or they lose interest
