Go for a brahma for a broody. Standard or bantam.

The best broody I ever had was a Dominique. I've also had banties, that were great little moms.

I don't know where you are, but you might get on your state or country thread in the "Where am I? Where are you?" section of this forum and talk to your neighbors within driving distance, once you figure out what you want. They just might be able to help you with certain breeds.

Old English Game and barnyard mixes banties. The OEG I have go broody often. They are wonderful mothers, but if you free range they like to hide their nests. One of the things I like about them, is they encourage the chicks to roost sooner than LF birds.

I read where Wyandottes went broody very ofter. Don't know if that's so but my GLW has at 7 months.
