When do hens most often go broody?

[ValkerieGunn]

Apparently, they go broody after laying their first 9 eggs. But only, like, casually.

I am hoping one of my cochins goes broody since they are known for it. The Husband knows very very little about chickens so if I get a broody I can hatch more chickens and he won't know I can break her. Hehehe he said no more chickens this year unless they hatch out themselves so here is hoping.

They go broody when they're your only blue egg layer

(Or, whatever egg detail you're going to miss until they lay again)
