Will Leghorns Go Broody?

White leghorn hens lay more eggs than just about any other chickens, and they rarely go broody. If you want to raise white leghorn chicks from eggs, then, you'll have to use an incubator or slip fertilized eggs under a brooding hen of another breed.

Do Leghorns make good mothers?

Hens are not good mothers - the Leghorn is bred to lay, not hatch.

Why is my Leghorn broody?
