Dutch, as with any Single Combed breed, do not do well in sub-zero temperatures, especially if there is dampness and/or draftiness. Large fowl Single Combed breeds may do better than bantams, but any bird with a Single Comb is going to struggle in those sorts of environments.

You may wish to look into birds with pea combs (see the Buckeye thread) as they will be more cold hardy for your location.

I could disagree only becuase of the amount of red this bird has

Do you mean red in the ear lobe?

One thing to realize about Dutch birds, especially males, is that young birds (under about 8 months) will often have red in their ear lobes. It will go away once they mature, so don't cull a young bird just on that criteria. I did that the first year I had Dutch, and have regretted it ever since. Just fyi.

Guess I was wrong, think I will go search for a show quality pair.

If you're in CA, one of the best breeders of Dutch in North American lives there. Seek out Kristi van Gruenen, she's the President of the Dutch club, and has gorgeous birds.
