What is the best chicken breed to go broody

[Firsttimehens1234]

hello, right now I have 4 hens in my flock, they are about 9 months old. I can see that the eggs they lay are fertilized but none of the hens will go broody.
I don’t really care about them not going broody but in the spring I want to get more hens so what are the best breeds to get if you want a hen to go broody easily?

Silkies. Mine are broody more often than not. I'm not exaggerating, either. Lol

What @Aunt Angus said—silkies 100%! I think I get about 10 eggs a year from my silkies because they’re broody the rest of the year They are excellent broodies and mommas and mine will adopt any baby at any age under 8 weeks. My bantam Cochins brood easily too but they’re more hit or miss on the momming portion of the deal!

My light and Coronation Sussex seem to be guaranteed to go broody at least once a year, most two or more times. (never more than three times so far though)
Buff Orps the same, but my Cuckoo Orp has never even thought about it.

Silkies, they’re dumb, but they will make good pets and mothers.
Dominiques are broody too, but they will outfox you.

Pheonixes or Cornish bantams
