Ok... I was worried that you had been told, and expected to hatch, a specific breed. I'm glad your satisfied with what you have!

Yes I am really happy with them. I am going to add 2 more hens in the next week or so and this time I am buying them so I can choose and there will be no surprises. At some time I want to have a go at a broody doing the job! It wasn't a massive task with the incubator but I felt they missed the guidance a mother hen would give them.

They r 2 very good breeds me personally I'd go for silkie and pekin if ur looking to have hens clock on the eggs

Pekin without a doubt for broodiness.
My first one went broody at 6 months old and hatched and cared for 6 chicks (out of 6 eggs). Her sister went broody upon seeing the chicks, decided she wanted a clutch of her own.
