Fat heat tolerant chickens

[McIntosh2019]

Hey guys! I'm looking for some big/fluffy heat tolerant chickens. I live in Arizona, so during the summer it's average temperature is 105. I want chickens that are too big to fly, aren't broody, friendly, and heat tolerant. I already have a roo, barred rock, buff orpington, and an easter egger. They MUST all get along, and they must be sweet.

If there is a chicken that isn't flighty (fat or not), that would be great. Also, I want a production bird (fair to AWESOME)!

Thanks guys!!!!!

Greetings from Kansas, McIntosh2019, and

! Pleased you joined us! Are you looking for layers or meat birds?? Before the advent of the Cornish X as THE meatbird, various dual purpose breeds like Rocks and Delawares ruled the roost, so to speak. I have read that the Red Rangers or Freedom Rangers are heat tolerant and good meat birds. If you are looking for laying hens, you can always trim their flight feathers. Good luck to you in your search!

Brahmas are heat tolerant and don't fly well at all. Some strains are broody but most hatchery birds have that trait bred out of them.
