Broody Ducks?

Can anyone list the breeds of some broody ducks? Thanks~

I used to have Buff Orpington ducks, a bunch of them made a communal nest in my lilac bush and hatched out about 50 ducklings. About half didn't survive the cats, but I got quite a few ducklings out of it with no work. I also had Khaki Campbell ducks at the time, but can't remember whether one of them was part of the broody group or not.

Are any of these broody: Cayuga, Blue Swedish, Pekin, Gold Star Hybrid, Kahki Campbell, and Rouen? Any of those?

You might find an individual hen from any of those breeds that goes broody, but you can't count on it.
The Swedish might have a slightly better chance. Also I would be against the Khaki Campbell.

I've read that the Swedish will go broody but I haven't had first hand exp. with them..... well, I DO have two ducklings right now so we shall see.

I've only ever bought ducks from the feed store, I get the Indian runners, they don't really stand up as good as the "ideal" runner but have had several hens go broody over the years.
