Howdy from Virginia and welcome to byc!
Heavier, dual purpose breeds that can handle the heat well are Rhode Island Reds, and New Hampshire Reds.

Hello, I'm a former Floridian and had no trouble keeping a variety of dual purpose chickens. As long as they are heat tolerant (and you do your part to keep them comfortable) you have a long list of breeds to choose from.

Best of luck!
