Thanks for the info for calibrating the temp and I've read that allowing a chicken to get a clutch of eggs and let them keep it for a while it'll help them get the hormones to become broody. Also the bared rock apparently have broad broodyness out of but I have 2 pekins/cochins that tend to be broody birds.Ditto Dat^^^
Many incubators are not accurate for temp, you need to test/calibrate those thermometers.
Here's some info on testing therms and hygros:

Almost impossible to do.
A bird is either broody or she's not, it's all about hormones.
