Best Broody Hens

[EOD Daddy]

What has been your best broody Heritage breeds of hens? Hens that set well and raise broods of chicks. I am looking for full-sized chickens. NO Silkies!!
I am looking for breeds not individual chickens. Not to sound rude but I don't care about fluffy butt sat once. I want replies like "I have 20 (Breed) hens and 5 reliably set every spring." Also, where did you source your birds from?
Thank You

Orpingtons are a safer choice, especially English Orpingtons if you can find a local breeder. Check for chicken Facebook groups in your state and ask around there.

English Orpingtons, and mixes made with them.
Ask me how I know...

Bonus: Fat floofy bottoms can cover more eggs.
