Best breed for brood mommas?

[varanisblack]

Well Mary has her egg producers, her bantoms for the grand kids she is working on her French standard Black Copper Marans and just got her White Face Black Spanish,
With the Spanish they are not good broodies so Mary wants to know what breed you would recomend for a brood momma to the Spanish and possibly some Marans?
She wants to possibly get 2 brood mommas one for each breed and do it the old fashined way "even if we still have 1/2 in the bator"

Cochins and silkies are frequent and excellent broodies. I have no experience with them, but many say that Faverolles are excellent broodies and mothers.
