Do Brahmas go broody?

[Schwing]

My Milo is a Brahma, and she is setting right now. Started a week ago. She is young and not sure how much luck she'll have. She gets off for 10-15 every day or so, and today she got off for 3 hours. We will see his she does.

The Brahmas I had years ago were very broody but only 3-4 times a year. We always triggered broodiness though by leaving them a few eggs. They generally make good calm moms too.

Chicks from hatcherys never go broody, my best incubator is our turkeys they can take up to 70 eggs

Very untrue. Broodiness is natural and though Hatchery stock is more bred for laying more, it does not, in any way, stop them from going broody.It's very breed and bird specific.

Crikey....have I got a different type of Brahma from everyone else. My Brahmas spend most of their lives broody. My biggest and best hen (weight nearly 11lbs) has hatched lots and lots of eggs. She laid about 6 eggs as a pullet, then became broody and has been broody at least 3 times every summer since. She is now just under 3 years old.

All my other pure Brahma hens (and I have quite a few) have been broody at least once each summer, and most twice.

My Brahma crosses are not nearly so determined to become mums.

What hatchery was your stock from

Tell that to my olive egger pullet, who's broody for the third time at 9 months old! As for brahmas, I don't have any personal experience but I suspect they're kinda in the middle, not broody mad like silkies but more likely to brood than commercial layers like ISA browns.
