Sebrights wont always go broody, but most of the ones I've had have. They'll start laying between 6 - 9 months, but likely won't begin to brood until they're over a year old and getting the whole "hen" thing down to an art. :) Do you mean by "quality" like the show quality-ness? If you want to know if your birds are show quality, your best bet would be to join a 4-H club, and also the Sebright association for your state or region. Do some research at shows, see what is winning. Helping your chickens lay more would be feeding them a good layer food, oyster shell and making sure they get plenty of sunlight or artificial light.
