Best chance of being broody

[WIchickMama]

I have 7 chickens and was wondering which breed might be the best chance of becoming broody, they are 11 months old. I have a leghorn (highly unlikely I think), barred rock, 3 brahmas and 2 polish. I am hoping to have one incubate some eggs for me this spring but if there isn't a high chance of any of those breeds being broody I will have to change my search to chicks, lol

Probably the brahma then the barred rock. Every thing else isn't known to go broody often.

Pray to the broody Gods, (Know that I am right beside you, praying too). Let the eggs or fake eggs pile up in the nest a bit, sometimes that will trigger one.

Definitely some breeds go broody more often than others, but my very first broody hen, was a breed that was NEVER suppose to go broody. So you never know.

One can hope, but get the incubator ready.
