I have had several diffent kinds of hens Barred Rocks, Buff Orphingtons, black giants, and delawareXhamps but none are broody. I would like a hen that will set. I don't care if it is a bantie or what ever, I would prefer one that is not feathered on the feet, I just see that as a problem with rain and mud and when its cold here in KS.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Silver Yokohama and Old English Game from Cackle Hatchery are nice broodys(but smaller, not bantam).I have them and am very happy
 
the partridge rock is supposed to be a vary good broody and mom i have soom but just started laying will see soon

I have a 3 y/o White Rock that has raised two sets of chicks for me in the last two years (I only do chicks in Spring). My oldest BO has gone broody, but never really stuck to it. My NHR, Mrs. Batty, will set for 8 wks if I don't break her, but it's always in Oct/Nov. -- the silly.
