What standard breeds of chickens are good sitters?

I want to get some more standard hens in my flock but what ones make the BEST mothers?

Wyandottes. Mine went broody at 10 months old, after only laying for a few weeks.

I have 3 partridge rocks that are broody now. I have chicks to put under them since my roo can't breed due to bad leg. Everyone I know with this breed always gets many broodies. I did have 4 and that 4th one sat for over a month before she stopped. The other 3 are just coming up to 1 month. Pics of them are on my chickens blog link in my sig.

Cochins and Buff Orpingtons make good setters.

BTW One of my Barred Rocks is setting eggs right now!!

I have 2/3 BA's broody, my one BO is broody and 2/3 EE's are also broody. The BO and BA's are larger then the EE's and can cover more eggs if that is important.
