Cubalayas?

[Cuban Longtails]

They do fine in the north, there's a couple of breeders in PA and one in MN. I think one of the best used to live up in MA. As long as you give them adequate shelter in the harsh weather, they do great. They make great broodies when allowed. I've not tried a cross species brood though, so I don't know anything about that.

There's a breed page on byc and one at the ultimate fowl wiki. Both give great information regarding the breed.

Hmmm,thanks so I guess im going to be ordering them in a couple of months once it starts getting warmer will they do ok with my other chickens?

 

[Cuban Longtails]

Yup, they'll be fine.

Are there any breeder in OH, KY, or IN?

 

[Cuban Longtails]

Not that I know of, but that doesn't mean much.

If you attend this show, there's bound to be a breeder or two there:
