Broodiness in Bielefelders

Watching.
Would love to start seeing some good broodiness in this breed. Keeping an eye on them as future flock potential.

Hi, seeing this post nearly 10 years later! Would you say Bielefelders are good for raising chicks? I am thinking about getting them for this very reason. Any tips?

checking on my chickens when i got home around dusk today, i found one of my bielefelder hens in a nest box, and all the other birds on the roosts across the coop. when i checked under her for eggs, she stayed in the nest and made strange chuckling noises. if she's still on that nest tomorrow morninr, i'b going to put all the bielefelder egge i have on hand (12) under her and see what happens. i have 6 crele bielefelder hens and one silver bielefelder hen. i have two roos, both silver bielefelders. i don't know what to expect, but i figure all i have to lose is a dozen eggs. here's hoping. any suggestions?
