I might have chickens at some point. I know that a hen being very protective of the eggs is broody and things like that.
If I do get chickens at some point I would start with a few full grown hens. Once I get comfortable with the hens and the hens get comfortable with me, I would get 1, just 1 rooster so that I don't have many aggression issues.
Is this a good strategy for a first timer. If it is, great. If it isn't, what is a better strategy because I don't really want to start with day old chicks, fertile eggs and an incubator, or a pullet only order since all of these have risks of being mostly or only roosters and that will lead to aggression issues with me and the other chickens. I am not sure if I would remember to turn the eggs until day 18 or if any would hatch. The chicks would need to be checked on periodically to see how they are growing, if any are dehydrated etc. and I would probably be very tired.
