Broody breeds

[ShrekDawg]

Not sure if this should go under chicken behaviors or breeds but figured probably breeds.

Anyway, what are some breeds that tend to go broody?

I was thinking about possibly hatching chicks in the future so somewhat want to add a bird or two that will be likely to go broody.

However, I'd also like it to hopefully somewhat earn it's keep. It doesn't have to be a prolific super star layer but I don't want it to lay like 10 eggs a year either

I've heard cochins and silkies thrown around a lot and will consider anything but are there other breeds? Kind of wondering if maybe there's one that I hadn't heard of or a better layer. Are brahmas broody too or just cochins?

Thanks a lot.

Orpingtons are great for that

I never would have guessed Wyandottes haha thanks for the input everyone

And how could I forget about Orpingtons!? I have 3 and actually did have one go broody this fall at only a year old or less but she hasn't been broody since :/ they are hatchery though so maybe that is why.

Thanks again everyone
