Do Sultans really get cold easily?

Ours survived -12f this winter...We figured if this winter didn't kill them, they're tough as nails...

Everyone complains how they get cold too easily, but I've found they just get hot easily.

They have, like, 3 layers of feathers! Plus feathered feet, a crest, and a beard+muffs!

Some of our Sultans!

This is Petey, he makes Pultans! He's cooped with a Pultan(from a WCB Polish Rooster & Sultan Hen) and WCB Polish hen

This is Duke after one of those, 'you got me' moments after he escaped his coop and evaded capture playing with his chasers! I love the look of complete resignation on his face!

And this is King who is cooped with Duke, for now, they seem to be fighting and we don't want those horns ripped off...

And some babies!

That's what we got going on at the moment with Sultans!!!!!

I had a decent hatch with my sultan eggs, 7 of them, a couple are missing toenails, but they are adorable. Was just going to put a rooster over polish hens, but I might keep a breeding pen of these, if I have enough girls.

These are probably the best pictures taken of our main rooster, "King". Someone that bought some babies took them and just sent them to me!

I finished extending the run today so all the chicks got to check out where they'll be moving next week. Winky had a wonderful time playing in the dirt with her sisters.

I can't seem to remember, who on here had black sultans in Ohio?

Hello! We're new to chickens this year and recently got our first Sultan. A friend got it from a bantam bin thinking it could possibly be a splash Cochin but since Sultans don't fit into her breeding program, she gave my daughter this cutie. We named it Fluff to go along with our other white chick, an Easter Egger we just rescued, Marshmallow, and the rest of our "sweets" themed chicken names. Shes not too old. Guessing she just finished feathering out since she just left my friend's baby room. Can anyone tell if it's a boy or girl? I have some other questions about the breed. Do they tend to be clutsy and lacking balance and sleepy? Cutest thing but she seems to be the laziest little girl in my flock so far. She doesn't move around a whole lot and I'm afraid that will lead to her getting picked on.
