I see You are from Canada aoxa. Do You know anything about White Chantecler? They should be very good layers in the winther. Not only the first year.

And happy new year.

Yes I know about the Chantecler. They are extremely rare - but not here. A lot of people are working with the breed. They do make excellent winter layers, comparable to a Plymouth Rock - without the issues with frost bitten combs.

If you have a well ventilated coop - frost bite should not be a worry. No signs of it thus far, and we've gone down to -25 this year. Today is very cold.

Happy New Year to you as well!

Good to know it will survive. A lot of people complain about laying here. I tell them: well lets get some Chantecler over here. The original danish farmchicken has been known to sleep in trees in 20 c below and lay eggs in frost. But not a lot of eggs in the winter.
