Need suggestions, please

Sex links aren't a breed, they are a cross between two breeds. If you want to breed your own, I'd suggest you stay with true breeds. I hadn't thought of Delawares, that's a good one, too.

Light Brahmas! All the way the best dual purpose breed I've come across.

Buckeyes will fulfill all those criteria. The hens will set and make good broodies. The cock birds get along pretty well, and are polite to humans. Your extra cockerels will dress out well. I love 'em. See my website for some pics of our Buckeyes:
