Would like to Raise some Seramas but Worried about Oklahoma winters.

[ol-jswartz]

I live in NE Oklahoma folks and we have some cold winters from time to time, sub-zero (Heck in the negative teens occasionally) and up to 115deg F some summers for weeks on end. I'm just wondering what kind of winter and summer extremes these little birds can tolerate? What could I do to help them survive the winters, and do I need to worry about the summers? I'm not sure what kind of temps they need to survive. I've read about some people across the pond (UK) that say theirs stay outside with no help for the winters even in the snow. For me bringing them inside isn't really an option. My wife is a very tolerant woman but chickens inside the house won't fly with my lovely bride. So I would like to see what I could build to make their winters less miserable. I am a fairly handy guy and I'm willing to build to suit my prospective new tenants.
Thanks ahead of time for all the information?

I live just a little north of you and wound up with a pair of Seramas, given to me by a friend. They are in with my LF flock and get no special treatment. Until recently I didn't know they are supposed to be "delicate" so I didn't treat them any differently and found that they are just chickens at the end of the day. They eat the pelleted food out of the same feeder, drink out of the same waterer, the hen lays her eggs in the same nest boxes, and they sleep on the same roosts. The cockerel chases off birds 10 times his size because he has seniority (and most of all, because he believes he can). They didn't seem to find the cold winter days here any colder than any of the others.

Hi, I just saw this and I'm from NE Oklahoma and am looking for some Seramas. Do you know of any for sale?
