I'm in the same boat as you or I should say, the boat behind you. Moved from Ontario to Quebec but will be working in Ontario. We might move to a house in May and I might be allowed 3 hens. Our son is 9 months old. Buff Orpingtons are a great breed, the only thing is they have single combs which make them more prone to frostbite but you are only getting hens so their combs will be smaller.

Agree with N F C, Chanteclers are the best breed for Canadian weathers. I would've picked them but I only want bantams and they are only available in white in bantam. In standard there's white, partridge, buff. If I ever come across buff bantams in Canada I'll get them.

I plan to get bantam Wyandottes, which is probably the second best cold hardy breed.

Whatever you decide, have fun with them!
