So I'm thinking about getting a hen or two with obsessive broodiness. Opinions on breeds from any of ya'll? I have all bantam breeds with the exception of hoping to get some decent Lakenvelder eggs soon. I will need a broody hen that can set small eggs. My only experience with broodies was a splash cochin I had as a teenager and I remember her hatching babies on occasion but I don't remember her being a crazy broody. Just need a big, warm, fluffy hen that wants to be a mama bad!
 
My only experience with broody hens would have have to be Silkies!!! Mine go broody about every 2 to 3 weeks if they aren't allowed to sit on eggs. I finally gave up and give them some eggs.... LOL
