Will a Brahma cross hen go broody?

[Lolame777]

Hi everyone

I've hatched and raised Brahmas and absolutely love them but noticed they go broody too often especially in Spring. As much as I love watching them raise their own young it's frustrating because they stop laying especially in Spring when most chooks lay the best eggs.

If I cross bred a Brahma with another breed of chicken that doesn't go broody like for example an Isa Brown, Rhode Island, Australorp will they still take from the genetics of the Bramha or is it likely they'll lay more and go less broody?

These are my gorgeous Brahmas and I love em!

In my experience, broody mamas produce broody daughters. Out crossing to non broody breeds might reduce the frequency of broodiness in the offspring.

Ah I see, that makes sense especially that Brahmas have a high chance of broodiness.
