Winter hardy breeds! People like rare icelandics. I saw MilleFleur were bred for cold. Our silkies and silkie mixes get so thick you'd think you were holding a fur chicken.

There have been fires started by heated coops. We don't heat our coop, our birds were GORGEOUS and happy in their winter fluff coats. But other chickens get frostbite.

Good luck and have fun!
