Well, since my husband wants no more chickens right now I'd say a trade is out. We just sold a group of 6 month old Blue Cochins a month ago that hatched last summer. Out of a hatch of 5 we had one Splash Cochin, it turned out to be a roo, the rest were hens. Not to bad a ratio.
I'll let you know when the Cochins start laying again. They are good little mommas. We had one last year that took in a whole bunch of babies that weren't even hers. Silkies are even better broodies than Cochins. Our Silkies seem to stay broody, but don't seem to like to take any babies that arn't ones they hatched.
