Hey , Thanks to all who responded. I think I will try to find another breed of hen that will go broody. Meanwhile I may start trying to build my very own incubator. That way I'll have both !!!

Get enough Silkies and someone will always be broody! I have 10 hens and I've had at least one broody year-round from the time they were 5 months old, so a steady stream of chicks for me!
