Anybody wanna share their best mama chicken breeds? Or help with mine?

Hey, I have a broody white Plymouth Rock black australorp cross. She is a very good laying hen, will tolerate petting, and she is very laidback. She is sitting on two blue EE eggs, and two unknown brown eggs. (And two ceramic eggs.. shhh ) All eggs are developing amazing, but I’m expecting a staggered hatch. Does anybody have experience with this crossbreed? Or do you know if australorps and/or/ Plymouth rocks are good mamas? Thanks in advance. (Btw this broody hen’s mama, a black australorp, has been broody before as well.) this broody hen only started laying around 5-7 months ago!

here is my broody mama.

I'm amazed that the ceramic eggs are developing!

but I’m expecting a staggered hatch

Why? This is not good. How far are they staggered?

Or do you know if australorps and/or/ Plymouth rocks are good mamas?

Australorps and PBRs are both excellent broody hens. I've had one of each and they are/were my top broodies out of all who have brooded here.

My oldest BA is currently sitting. She has gone broody twice before and was an excellent mother.
