Which type of hen is said to be ideal for hatching chicken?

Desi hen is said to be ideal for hatching chicken.
Desi hens proved to be ideal for this purpose. Only 10 to 12 eggs can be put under 1 hen. This method of hatching is highly unsatisfactory for large-scale production of baby chicks. Incubators, which provide similar environment as that of broody hens, but are more efficient, are used at present for hatching of eggs.
