I personally like the Houdan. They are a nice dual purpose bird with an attractive mottled coloring pattern and a pretty crest. I know they were developed in Houdan, France which is in the northern part of the country and gets quite cold in the winter so they should do fine in your climate. But, as others have said choose a breed YOU love not a breed we love. Keep your numbers small (10-20 birds) and that will keep your costs down.
Good Luck
