Of yours, Orps tend to go broody though I've had some that never did. My Ameraucanas have.
As Diva said, get yourself a silkie or cochin.
Brahmas, Australorps, Javas, Hollands, Dorkings, Cubalayas, Langshans, New Hampshires, Sussex and Games tend to be setters.
Chickens, other than breeds like shamos, aseels and some games aren't like other birds. They have been bred to lay eggs continuously rather than lay a clutch and hatch them.
Those breeds that go broody will do so whether their eggs are fertile or even if no eggs are present. No rhyme or reason, just hormones saying, "I think it's time to raise a family."
