Broodiness often is a breeding trait. Show bred birds will go broody more often than hatchery stock, so if you want a almost guaranteed broody look for show bred birds.

The only breed I've had go broody in a couple years is faverolles, of course that's the only actual breed I've had in a while besides mutts. Fav went broody very early and was quite determined,i would have liked to have given her a chance but it was almost winter.

Old Lady I know taught me this..Buy local from a person who has Broody Hens that actually raise Chicks...I have Orpington that are great Broodys..Quality does not always mean Broody..I also have a Silkie cross that is Mother of the year and a fantastic Momma..
