Some Buff Orps do, and My Black Australorp does almost every year. Other than that I cant really help you.

 

[Year of the Rooster]

The Buff Orpingtons and the Wyandottes.

There have been a few exceptions for people on here who have Leghorns. But those two breeds are the ones most likely to. It's possible the others could though.

I know the australorps will, I have 2 that are broody right now. Buff orps do too. Not 100% sure on the others

All I can say is chances are the BRs will not ! Least wise mine won't !!!

Thank you everyone sooo much for your input! I may try hatching this year and none of my girls are laying quite yet except for the Leghorn and she could care less about the eggs she lays.

So i wanted to know who i could count on to set on them eggs.

The popular wisdom is that you need a Silkie!
However, my Phoenix, which a book said was an unlikely broody, has done a great job for me this spring.

I love the Rooster in your pic. What breed is he?

Perhaps it's because my RIRs are banties, but I've had broodies almost since they started laying eggs. Current count out of 12 girls: 1 setting on 6 eggs (due on Tuesday), 1 in broody jail (wire cage hung on the wall of the coop) & 2 due to move in the second cage if it ever stops raining long enough to finish working on it.
