What chickens can live in a hot environment?

[theoldchick]

Do they need to be separated from other chickens? I just looked them up and it said they can be aggressive.

Yes, they are very 'gamey', and thus require a bit more management than the typical backyard flock.

Srry, just seeing this.
It's worth mentioning that the breeds I suggested are all kind of flighty but I don't think they are very prone to aggression (maybe the roosters because they are more gamey but idk). The good think about them being flighty though is that they can evade predators really well.

I live in Orlando florida very hot. I have RIR,FCM,Leg horns,Bard Rocks,some larger Red broilers. What ever. All do very well. The key is shade and ventilation .I built my Coop and runs under some Oaks, the Southern end is covered but well ventilated with hardware cloth. The The west end is closed off because storms blow from that way. The north and east side is completely open with only a frame with hardware cloth.I also have a box fan tied to the door for dead calm hot days.

Please notice the amount of shade these chickens have.
