Are silkie mixes as prone to broodiness as pure silkies?

I had two cross pullets from bantam RIR hens x on Silkie. They both went broody at ten months old. Their mothers never did once in three years.

these ladies are lovely! I have a very excited 7 year old who has special requsted to keep best friend silkies. I am looking for 2 pullets. she has seen the brown and silver mix and the grey with black but I don't think she is very picky as long as they are fluffy. any idea where I can find nice show quality silkies?

Does anyone know someone in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, or North Florida that has any Silkie chicks for sale?
