Looking for egg layers that are cold hardy

[FunnyBunny89]

January!? What kind of idiot chicken thinks 20⁰ weather is a good time to molt!? LOL

I didn't end up getting the Wyandottes this year, but I might next time. They do sound like great birds!

Lol well funnily enough, the cold temps take a break in January usually, and they manage to molt mostly during those days. Our coldest days typically happen in February and March around here.

For cold hardy, I would look to swedish flowers. Not the biggest but seems to check some of the boxes. From what I've read they don't just tolerate the cold, they love it.

I wanted those, but it's hard to find some breeds for cheep. (Sorry I had to)

But I will definitely look for them next year!
