Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
IDK...all of my broodies have been hatchery stock. Some viciously persistent.

You're an overachiever. That 4 at once was a bit much, don't ya think?

I bought some SL Wyandott chicks, (one was a rooster) two years ago from Tractor supply, Ive made them a nice coop with nesting boxes, ive made it as good as it gets so they can go broody. it still has not happend. Is it because they are from a hatchery ? this is my second year raising chickens.

Real Wyandotte’s are known for being good broodies and mothers. But in September its too late to start with natural breeding. In spring you can try to leave some (fake) eggs in a nest where you like a hen to breed. If there are > 4 eggs in a nest there chances rise that one or even more hens get broody.

And of course:

They'll go broody when they want. And not a day sooner.
Let some eggs accumulate in a dark, comfy, quiet nest in the spring.
That's when they usually go broody.
How old are they?

Welcome to BYC! Like other have said, some hens just don't go broody.

Welcome to BYC. Also some that do go broody do NOT make good mamas.

Hi and a belated welcome! Sometimes it isn't the breed, it's just the hen. Some ladies just aren't interested in hatching eggs.
