Do your Black Australorp hens go broody?

I have a black autralorp hen and was wondering if she will ever go broody... and will she be a good mother if she does? Tell me about your black australorps!

Hi, I have 2 of them, one just gave me 9/11 chicks, they are 2 wks old. Another one is on 14 eggs as we speak. She is a good mother so far.

I habe a black australorp named artemis. She went broody over some unferile eggs this summer. She laid on broke eggs (the smell was awful), no eggs at all, I had to block coop access from the flock so she would eat something, I always had to manually put her outside. It took about 3-4 weeks for her to snap out of it.
