How often do hyline brown hens go broody ?

[LTygress]

Silkies are BY FAR the most likely breed to go broody. Although I've got three mixed-breed bantams (half ameraucana, half mille fleur) that will go broody on a single golf ball every time I turn around (I use golfballs to show them where to lay). But silkies as a breed are just known for it. Period.

X 2 on the silkies if you want a broody, another good choice is the cochin. Not all bantams are broody, depends on what breed of bantam it is.

You're essentially correct. Only, as it is a hybrid, thus, it is not a breed at all.

my hyline brown is going broody and i separated it and now sitting on the eggs
will it hatch?

My Buff Orpington Sunny has gone broody 3-4 times in her life. She's about 6 years old.
