Icelandic Chickens

Kathy, do they waste a lot of feed with that feeder?

Looks like feed on the ground in picture #2.

DH made a long feeder like that out of PVC pipe and wood blocks at the end. He also put a "roller bar" on top so they could not perch on it.
 
I have been following this thread for almost as long as it's been here. Anyway, I love how these chickens are good free rangers and can find alot of their own food. I do have a question though, how would they do in the Texas heat? Last summer we had days that were 117 degrees. Most of the summer days are over 100 degrees, how would they fare in this type of climat? I would like a white egg layer to add to my layer flock, but if I really liked them then I would probably set up a breeding pen for them. How good of a layer are they? Do they lay good in the dead of winter/summer? Thanks so much for your help.
