Cold Hardy Bantams

[HMulvey227]

What breeds of bantam tend me more cold hardy? Hoping to find a breed that won't need supplemental heating in cold New England winter. Thanks!
Pic for attention lol

Same, but I prefer largefowl. I own bantams too, though.

Any of the cold hardy breeds should also be hardy as bantams. Like Cochins, Javas, Chanteclers, Jersey Giants, Plymouth Rocks, Delawares, etc..

Giggling at the thought of a Jersey Giant Bantam lol, not saying I wouldn't get one

I thought the same back when I had JGs and learned there were bantams. A true oxymoron like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence.

Silkies are awesome!
Orpingtons are cold hardy and come in a bantam version, though a bit bigger than the average bantam. (3 lb hens, 5 lb roos)
