Yeah, some people do get broody hens. I know Orpingtons from hatcheries have decent chances, and I've even got the rarity of a broody Polish before.
. . . . REALLY hope that Polish decides to go broody again this spring. That would be very much appreciated.

Word of advice - Most "Ameraucanas" out there are actually Easter Eggers (mutts) which in fact are anything but broody. To get real Ameraucanas you're gonna need to know the difference, then find a breeder who knows the difference between the two.
Out of the countless EE's I've seen...
No common hatchery breeds, or any hatchery breeds for that matter, are very broody if at all. (Except Cochins and Silkies)
True Araucanas, Ameraucanas, Marans, American Gamefowl, Oriental Gamefowl, Wyandottes, Cochins, Silkies, etc are all broody, granted that they are not of hatchery/poor...
