Hi all,
I am hoping to get a few chickens in the near future and am in the process of looking into the different breeds available. I know there is a lot of info on how well breeds handle the cold, but we live in central Florida where I am more concerned about how well chickens handle the heat. Are certain breeds more heat tolerant than others or will they all be fine in the summer? I get the impression that when it gets cold enough some breeds stop laying in the winter, is the reverse true, where when it gets hot some breeds stop laying in the summer?
Thanks in advance,
