What Breed to pick?

I don't love it : (

It's better than a foot of snow on the ground.

I've been meaning to ask how your standard cochin is handling the heat?
I almost bout some lavender and buff cochins, but backed out.

My langshan and brahmas, actually do better in the heat, than my orpingtons and easter eggers. (Ideal says Brahma and Langshan "are not especially" heat tolerant. )

I think my legbars, naked necks, and welsummers do the best. They show absolutely no signs that it is hot out.

Ideal says that Russian orloffs are "not especially heat tolerant" I only have one. She is two years old, and seems to not notice the heat.

What was your "disaster" if you don't mind my asking?

I think I never answered you.
I had purchased 6 ISA brown chicks and had them put up. We had a lovely day, so I figured I'd open the shed a little, to let fresh air and sun in. I was playing in the backyard with the dogs, I thought I had the door to the shed blocked off.
Then, SHINEY, I got sidetracked, next thing I know, my weenie dog is in the brooder surrounded by carnage.
She is the first by the shed door now whenever I go out. (Nope, nit letting my guard down again!)
