I dont know, but cochins are too, no? We've raised chickens for 5 years, had orpingtons, wyandottes, cochins, only ONCE has a hen gone broody and it was a wyandotte. And many people have hens who are supposedly a nonbroody breed, but they have them go broody tons.

Depends on the chicken, if you have a bunch others going, then ya, it will want to try it out, but if not, then who knows

Oh its just because my Buff orpington hens and my cream legbar hen are bringing up a cuckoo maran chicks and BO chick, so i wanted to no if the maran would be a good broody because i love broodies

At one point I had 5 CMs and 4 of them where broody and three where good mothers. It seems to depend on the individual and their bloodline, mine where from Ideal.

My cuckoo maran has gone broody 3 times this summer!

A REALLY broody breed is pekin bantam, we have 3 and they all get broody in turns. In 1 month we get all 3 broody, and it spreads between the 3 pekin bantams

I know this post is old, but I came here to ask this because I wasn't under the impression that marans were especially broody, but my cuckoo maran is the only standard size bird I have that has gone full broody this year! She is doing a great job so far, and can't wait for her hatching eggs to get here to swap the eggs out with!
