I have 5 BR, 2 RIR, 5 EE, 1 White and 1 black Leghorn. I origionally didn't want any broodys to fight with to get my eggs, alas I've been reading and now REALLY want to hatch some Marans and maybe a frizzle but don't want to have a bator (build, maintain, buy) would rather have a broody to be the mama. Plus the thought of all the cuteness of a mama hen and her passel of fuzzy buts (awww

).
So folks what are my chances... or should I just get a BO next year to integrate?

None of those breeds are "broody breeds," but it doesn't mean it won't happen. Leave the eggs in the nests for a week or 2 to see if anyone will decide to sit on them. If not I would get a Silkie or a Cochin...they go broody without the eggs!
