Not sure if ill be useful in purebreds, but I've had chickens for about 5/6 years and from my experience my barnyard mixes have rarely ever gotten sick and i only recall it every happening as chicks. And my yard is full of them as i do a lotta experimental hatching. They are also known to be my friendliest.
I have young purebreds and so far my australorps and my red sl at 8/9 months have been good layers and have never gotten sick even as chicks that i know of. My pick out of the 2 would be the red sl, as she lays large dark brown eggs everyday.
Then at 6 months my pick would be the buff orpingtons, the buff brahmas, and the cream legbars, never been sick, but no eggs yet. Also mentioning they are very friendly, especially the legbars.

All breeds listed other then my barnyards came from tsc.
