Durable Show Breeds?

[mmack3685]

I live in Iowa and want to show chickens for 4-H but I need a chicken that'll withstand the harsh winters AND hot humid summers. Any ideas?

Welcome to BYC!

I am not sure on what breeds may be good for your area. Kelsie has you on a good path to your state thread for help with your harsh winters.

Good luck and welcome to our flock!
