Ahhh ok, that makes a lot of sense. I completely understand the need for *aesthetic*. I know I should consider Naked Necks, since they can handle the heat better than most...but they're just so ugly. And I'm a shallow. Thanks for the tips! I'm hoping with lots of shade and construction sand...
@ColtHandorf Are the English type Orpingtons healthier/better than the American (more than just the fact that they look more fabulous and meet SOP)? Pure curiosity on my part. Also, do you have any tried and true tips for managing Orpingtons in the Texas heat? Thanks!
