Mine did real well! I got really nervous when it got to -65 though! They made it!! My roo has a little bit of frostbite on his comb, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him. I'll just adjust the ventilation this year. The chickens, sled-dogs and humans are all extremely happy that it has...
My husband brought them home from Fairbanks last year, I can't remember which feed store he said. They are real nice birds...take confinement really well and extremely cold hardy. I've been real impressed with them. I didn't realize they were that hard to find. Nice layers too!
I'm an Alaskan! Just joined BYC a few months ago....but I've been a lurker around here since I got my chicks last March. I've got Jersey Giants (6 hens and 1 roo) and 4 buff chanteclers.
