Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

We have no idea of what breeds to get.

Consider Chanteclers. They originated in Canada and originated in Canada as a dual purpose bird that could withstand the harsh Canadian climate.

Hi, and welcome to Back Yard Chickens! So glad you joined. Have fun with your chickens - I am waiting for chickens in the spring myself. It's exciting and hard to wait. But daunting to look at the winter weather, too, and I am just in Massachusetts! Best wishes!

Welcome to the BYC Flock!

Rhode Islands and Chanteclers are great suggestions.

I would also add to your list of possibilities Easter Eggers and Wyandottes (they have smaller combs and are less prone to frostbite), and Brahmas (if it isn’t super muddy, Brahmas have feathered feet to prevent frostbite!)

Good luck!
