We just had a buff orpington hen hatch 13 chicks most of them BR roo over BO and i was just wondering if this cross would make a reliable broody hen with good laying capabilitys.

Also if you cross a silkie rooster with say a BO will it still have the same chance at going broody?![]()
How often will a silkie go broody. i have to male silkies but no females (i will get some soon) but when i do how many times can i expect them to go broody per year?
