I have a sebright hen and I just love her. She is so pretty and sweet. I really like them. When I was younger, I raised Old English bantams. They were also great chickens. I like the cleaned legged chickens, but that is just me. I would look around on the websites and see what you like.

I've got an old english game hen and she is super nice and sweet. Also silkies, I hear, are nice and they are popular too.

Edited to add: I also like clean-legged chickens, because the feathers on feather-legged chickens get really dirty(well mine always did).

Japanese are pretty and easy to tame and come in lots of colors,,,,,,,modern came have lots of personality,,,,,,,cochins and silkies will sit in your lap,,,,

I would like a calm breed that will go broody often...

Then you should definetly get silkies.

I'd go with either silkies or cochins, although silkies are my personal favorite

 

[tiki244]

Orpingtons, supposedly cochins (not my experience), OEGB are good mums but not so calm, Brahmas come to mind but I have no experience with them, they are quite pretty

ETA:silkies, but they might be broody ALL the time

I'm not sure about broodiness, but my Bantam Sultans are VERY calm and tame. They are only about 3 weeks old, and are the calmest of my Sebright/Japanese/Sultan Bantam group.
