Well, I don't have much experience with them yet, but the breeds I got are all supposed to be hardy and tolerate our climate. They are all supposed to be medium/heavy layers. The RIRs are aggressive (relatively), barred rocks not bad, my buffs and australorps are shy and quiet. So far, the breed descriptions here have been pretty accurate. Have you tried the tool for finding breeds? It can be helpful. But yes, talking to and buying from locals should help you get what is appropriate for the area.
I believe they're eating ants... I had one bad ant hill in my field (in a big weed, I can't think of the name, but ants love to nest in them) and the girls have pretty much destroyed the nest and the weed.
