Welcome. I think for heat tolerant chickens, you will want to choose chickens with larger wattles and combs, lighter feather colors, having fewer feathers, smaller body mass and darker body colors. These chicken breeds are better able to withstand high temperatures because they are able to lose heat through evaporation and radiation. Best breeds for the heat: NHR, brahma's, white leghorns, samatra's, plymouth rocks, easter egger, minorca, andulusian, orphington, RIR, fayoumis, welsummers, campine, and penedesenca.
