What exactly are you expecting I will establish "as a fact?" That many breeds of egg producing hens have had the instinct to "go broody" bred out of them? That is a fairly well known fact - Google it if you want more information.

The point you're making is valid, but that hens won't brood until they have a full clutch doesn't make any difference whatsoever if they don't have the instinct to brood in the first place.
