What is your dream chicken?

A breed of hen that woud lay non-stop everyday, beautiful jumbo sized eggs, and that would go broody when you told her too. Im going to say, hens 8 pounds, roosters 10. Color: something like the Buttercup, where the hen is almost completely different then the rooster.
 
I'd like a medium sex link with a rose comb and clean yellow legs that is a good forager and occasionally goes broody: hardy and good temperament.
The hens must lay 250+ brown eggs and the Roos must be good leaders and fathers.
Towards this goal I've raised various Colombian pattern silver birds and done my homework on genetics
Breeds I've had so far towards this goal;
RIW,
Colombian Wyandotte,
RIR,
Commercial reds,
Red sexlinks,
Lt. Brahma,
Delawares,
Buckeyes,
Lt. Sussex,plus
Barnvelders and Welsomers (for dark eggs)

Breeds I'm looking for
Colombian ply rocks w/ light down (not slate down)
RC RIR
and RC RIW
White Chantecler
White Maran with clean legs
RC Red Dorking
White Java
