Hi everyone, I'm looking at breeds and trying to decided if i need to get something that can resist the cold. I know i need a heat resistant bird as it is often in the 3 digits here and sometimes 110+, but in the winter its common to be in the 30s all day and night long (i've seen a day where it was 32 degrees hi and low). I'll probably start out with some RIR but i'd like to eventually get some other breeds in the mix.
 
I don't think there are any chickens that couldn't handle 30 degrees, and much colder, as long as they're dry. I think any breed you go with will be fine with adequate ventilation.
