Australorps vs Dominiques

[BarredBuff]

In your opinion who is better? I am looking for a excellent flyer, free ranger, setter, fairly good egglayer, good meat bird and a hardy breed . Who would fair better under these conditions:
Free Range
Pretty Cold Winters (My BR and RIR roos have frostbite)
Pretty Warm Summers

It's hard to compare too completely different breeds of chickens but with that being said I would say that the Dominique is the far better breed for you...

I agree. For a very cold climate, the Dominiques would work better, just thinking of the frostbite factor.
