Chanteclers would be a good choice. They were developed in Canada to withstand the winters there.

Very good info on both your parts. Thanks Blooie and aart. I have the 12' x 12' coop sitting waiting for my ISA Brown pullets I'm getting next month. This is definitely the way to go.You know, aart, I didn't think of using the light for the first day or so just to observe them and make sure there are no problems with any of them. I'm going to add that to my "brooding out in the coop" plan! Scout is the first chick I've used Mama Heating Pad for, so he was already almost 2 weeks old or so when he went under it. But I didn't have to train him....I just showed him once where it was and he took it from there. Day old chicks might not get it that fast. Thanks!!
Did premiere ever come up with a way to adjust the temp? Last year I thought that was something they were thinkin about. I have 2 small brinseas and thinking on getting the bigger premiere now.

Your question got me curious so I went and opened my freezer door and I think they all look great in there. Of course it wasn't as cold as your talking about.What do you think would be the best breed of chickens for central Minnesota when it get as cold as negative 40-50
