How do you guys make your hens go clucky? Do you just leave the eggs there and hope someone will sit on it?

I have a bunch of eggs from my Aseels, but would prefer if a bantam sat on them. Should I just put the eggs in the pen with the bantams and just hope they sit on them?
 
Sometimes they seem a little more likely to go broody (clucky) if around another broody, or if you put something like several golf balls in a nest, to try to make her think she has a cutch of eggs she needs to hatch..
But, bascially, you can't. It's a hormonal change, and either they will or they won't. They are most likely to go broody in spring, and some breeds are more likely to go broody than others.
