Chick Breed Help

[Chickenlover556]

So far I researched Heat-tolerant and good egg-laying breeds.. and came up with this list
. Buff orpington
. Easter Egger
. Barred rock
. Rhode Island Red
. Welsummer
. White leghorn
. Buff brahma
. Blue andalusian
. New Hampshire red
. Black sumatra (for ornamental Purposes )
. Buff Minorca
. Naked neck (Turken)
Any suggestions/Feedback? I am thinking of getting one of each....

How much heat would they have to tolerate? I worry only about the Brahma & Orpington…

90-100 in summer... I kinda found it weird that the Orpington and Brahma were on this websites list to..

I have had almost all of those breeds in my flock and they did fine as long shade and water was provided.

They're very heat hardy, but occasionally you'll have one that's not. I lost one Buff Orpington last year during a very bad heatwave. But this was before I had a pool available.
