The first two that say click are ones were you can take a test to see which breed of chicken is best for you. They both have a heat hardy question. And for the second one they are all heat hardy birds!

I am in Phx, and have 5 pullets...Buff Orp, Barred Rock, EE, australorp and a wyandotte. They all tolerate the heat very well actually. I turn the sprinklers on for a few minutes a cpl times a day and always make sure they have fresh cool water and shade, also a cat litter type of box filled with sand they will lay in b/c it stays cool. They all are doing well! I was a bit worried at first since this is their first summer here in phx, but so far this has worked out well

I am in Texas and I swear by my Turkens/Naked Necks.
The heat doess not bother them at all and we have been at 100+ for close to a month now. I have had them about 4 years and have never lost one to the heat.
And we had an extremely cold winter and no frostbite for them.
And they lay nice large brown eggs almost daily.
