Let continue ranking our birds and talk about broody hens , some want to be mums all the time and some, well let’s be honest it’s lucky they don’t go broody lol. 1. Cochins all my Cochins have been clucky twice this season already 😩. Gentle and docile though and can make excellent mummas 2. Pekins . Small and fiercely protective mummas 3. Bantam faverolles ( they strangely rarely make the broody sound ) 4. Wyandotte also great excellent mothers and super smart 5. Black blue splash Orpingtons 6.
