Are polish chickens, cold hardy?

When I lol on chicken networks it’s about 50/50 if cold hardy or not. I’m in Wisconsin so it’s gets pretty cold here. Are they cold hardy? Do they do well in a mixed flock?

Polish are actually not very cold hardy.

I'm in Wisconsin and my daughter wanted some, so we got them! Along with 19 other types of chicks & guineas. I am taking my chances! They will free range, but I have a nice coop with a run for the winter that I'll throw in some straw etc.. for fun, but I think with the body heat from the other chicks, they'll be okay. If anything, I'll put a heat lamp in the coop to heat it up a bit. Can you accommodate yours like this? We can get some pretty darn cold winters.
