What kind of Chickens are you breeding or do you Breed?

Cubalaya all the way! Hen with chicks. . . .

Ah they're Leghorns. They won't hatch chicks themselves. I've had a few start sitting but they'll give it up before halfway through. I've only ever had two hens successfully hatch chicks. One hatched one and the other hatched three.
That's not productive enough for me. I have a couple incubators I use.
Did you select eggs specifically from those hens that did go broody to try to get broodiness back into your lines?
