Breeds & Broodiness

[jessied1227]

I will be wanting to hatch out a few of my own chickens in the spring, and was wondering about the broodiness tendencies in the breeds I have.
I have 4 Barred Rocks, 3 Black Sex Links, 1 Rhode Island Red, 4 Red Sex Links, 9 Silver Laced Wyandottes and 3 EE mixes.

Of the breeds I have, in your experiences, which have been the best broody hens/mothers?

Thanks so much-
Jess

Little experience, except with the BR's. I had one that would NEVER get off the nest unless I tossed her out on her can.
But I would suggest that you have common dual purpose breeds and their brood tendencies will be well developed.
If I were to bet, I;d say the hybrids will be the least likely to go broody. But it's hard to say with such a mix.
