Just rest and wait for the hatching. However, be sure to give the hen the number of eggs you would want hatched. So that the hen can manage the chicks well.

Definitely wait until she calves. I don’t know specifically what could happen but it doesn’t sound like a good idea.

Geoffrey Joe replied to the topic When are sheep ready for breeding in the forum Sheep breeding and lambing 6 years, 11 months ago
For some producers, it is commonplace to breed well-grown ewe lambs when they are 7 to 9 months of age. Other producers wait until their ewes are 18 months old before breeding them to lamb as 2 year olds. Different breeds of sheep reach puberty (sexually maturity) at different ages. The choice is yours dear.

Well done, You are going to have to wait to about 6 months. sheep can go on heat for the first time at about 6 months or some at 7 months. Keep feeding them well till then

Have run low on started feed, and have a too large supply of grower feed. Any ideas how I can increase the protein and still use the grower to finish them out? And, keep in mind, they are on all natural, non soy, non GMO feed.
