In a nutshell
Im gonna be gettin some chicks from My Pet Chicken this spring and want to know how hardy are these breeds: Easter Egger Bantam, Silkies, Polish Bantam, Frizzle Cochin Bantam , and Brahma Bantam.
 
EE's, cochin, and brahmas do well in cold weather. EE's especially b/c of their small comb size. Cochins can be messy in sloppy weather though b/c of their feather feet. I think brahmas have feathered feet too maybe, but I can't remember.
 
I don't know whether there would be a big difference between the bantams and LF, but nothing bothers my LF brahmas. Not heat, not cold, nothing.
ETA: The brahmas do have feathered feet, my dark brahmas have very heavy foot feathing, but it isn't a problem; even in our wet springs and winters. They get wet and they get dry again too.

Hardy depends upon where you live.

I haven't been able to keep RIRs because they can't take the heat of the summer here. We'll see how my cochin's fare this summer.
