Chicken Breeds: Heat Tolerant

Backyard Chicken Breeds: Heat Tolerant

 

The chicken breeds on this page have been specifically selected for their heat tolerance. These are the best breeds to consider if you live in a warm climate!

For the most part, the most heat tolerant breeds on this list will be the lighter weight laying breeds.

This list is a work in progress and very much incomplete, but we are adding new breeds every week!

Note: Breeders come up with new colors every year, and many are not recognized by the APA. The colors listed for each breed are often just a few of the many colors available!
