Thank you, yes I chose based on a mix of being able to withstand winters and being friendly. Leaning toward friendly as most important while avoiding more delicate birds! However, we have chicken friends up here who do well with silkies so I guess we needn’t have worried!Are you asking for breeds that do well in the cold? Because if you are it would be best to select large bodied breeds with small combs and thick plumage. Chantecler and Buckeyes are two examples of cold adapted breeds. But to be honest most breeds should do fine in Los Alamos unless you decide to go with a South American or other tropical adapted breed (which to be quite frank aren't going to be as readily available in the US).
