Just Joined this site, but have always looked up info for our flock from the beginning (advice from this site has been lifesaving so many times!). And will always have so much to learn, and will try to input any measures of flock care that has worked for us. :)

We have about 28 in our mixed flock from Bielfelders to Serama/Silkie Bantam mixes (we're newbies only doing this for 2 years now). So far they do well in our High Desert climate. Hot summers and bitter (frosty) winters and high winds for half the year. It tunnels through the mountains directly towards us.

One of the many questions to come that I have is if anyone knows what other breeds can do well in this kind of climate??

The breeds we currently have are Bielfelders, Silkie/Serama Bantams, Olive Eggers, Marans, Americaunas, EEs, RBL Wyandottes, Australorps, Salmon Faverolles (do better in winters here).

Had buff ORPs but none of them did well in this climate unfortunately.

Welcome!

Living in Aus, we constantly battle with the heat and some frosty winters would be most welcome

You might want to also pop in and say hello on your local thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you ‘Find your State’s thread.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

@CC Fluffy thanks for joining us! Another breed that comes to mind is Icelandics, though they may be hard to locate. Use the search box in the upper left corner to find posts about them. Also,Chantaclers originated in Canada (I believe) and are winter hardy and Buckeyes are supposed to be good too.

Good luck to you and thanks for joining us!
