I am partial to Cochins, I have bantams and they're like little old ladies, lol. SO fluffy!! My mottled cochin is my favorite.I would suggest Cochins. So far all mine have been great in heat and cold, but it definitely doesn’t get as hot as AZ here...
Unfortunately I can't get anything like thoseI want a chicken with exotic colors like this one, "not my picture". Just eye candy for me.

Check out the Lakeshore Eggers from Meyer Hatchery. I haven't seen them offerred anywhere else. I got three and they are all different colors, but all beautiful. They are a cross between an Easter Egger and whatever else in the yard. Supposed to be heat and cold tolerant, friendly personalities and great egg layers of large eggs. Mine are 4 weeks old now and next week will go out into the "baby barn" outside.I'm trying to think of different breeds I want to get. I don't want just 'normal' birds (leghorns, orpingtons or australorps, normal birds like that.)
Wishlist:
-Heat tolerant! I'll be living in AZ in a few years and I can't have the A.c. in their barn XD
- cold tolerant too because we will be in the part if the state that gets a little below freezing at its coldest
-Broody wouldn't hurt, love my phoenixes going brood and just increasing themselves without my help
- Pretty. I want beautiful birds, with variety in colors and 'extras
