In my opinion...
Austrolorp
Barred rock
Speckled Sussex

 

[Chickening101]

And...do Australorps go broody? (Is it likely?)

 

[The Angry Hen]

One of mine did and hatched the first chick, but the two roosters and another hen were nasty.

 

[Chickening101]

what about speckled sussex and barred rocks

 

[KaylorFarms]

I don't think australorps are as likely to go broody as other breeds. Barred rocks don't occasionally go broody, Neither do speckled sussexes.

 

[Chickening101]

ok

 

[The Angry Hen]

Hello Chickening 101,

If you are looking for a broody breed,
I would suggest Salmon Faverolles.

I don't have a rooster in that cage but I have 3 SF hens,
they all went broody, one is as we speak.

Breeds that occasionally go broody are, old English games, brahmas, buff orpingtons, silkies, cochins,

 

[Chickening101]

so australorps, barred rocks, and sussex usually dont?

 

[KaylorFarms]

No, not usually, once in awhile they might.
