I'm thinking about getting white leghorns but it gets to -10 here sometimes and I can't heat my coop. Can leghorns handle that cold?
 
Leghorns have large single combs....susceptible to frost bite.
 
Leghorns are heat tolerant. I have a l Leghorn and she survives zero degree winters, but it is hard on her.
If you do get Leghorns, make sure you have vegetable oil or lard, to cover her comb and wattles to prevent frostbite in the cold times.
