What breed is this cute little hen?

Oh and, how cold tolerant are they? It gets to be around 20-25 F at the coldest. (I will be using a lamp come winter)
 
My Silver Duckwings are very cold tolerant... my rooster gets frostbite on his large comb though.
 
Okay, great!
I adore her, she has stolen my heart and is now my favorite chicken! *Hugs*

Chickens really don't need heat lamps when the temperature is down in the 20's--even much colder than that--even banties. I have large fowl and many banties--OEGB, silkies, and mille fleur d'uccles and they tolerate temps down to the single digits well in their coop without heat. If you put heat lamps in at night, then they don't know how to adjust their body temps when the lamps are gone. Think if you use a heat lamp during winter, then the power goes out--they will die because they are not used to the cold.
