i say turn the ole boy loose & let him start the "job"
it's rare that redstars go broody so you will need a bator
for under $100 you can get one with an egg turner which makes it much less work for you

I am going to buy one.. just wanted to hear what everyone thought of the cross

A Buff Orp or a Rhode Island Red rooster would be good choices.....good luck!!!

PS - Red Stars are a "hybrid".....they are technically not a breed.

I'm hoping mine will breed with my new Barred Rock. Maybe I'll get red stripes! JK. Lol
