Today we’re talking about heat hardy breeds, as part of our Best Of Series. We dedicate one episode per month to this series, covering the very best of each month's topic. For the month of July, we’re going to dive into the best breeds for hot climates. For most of the US, July hits peak temperatures often hitting 90s, with some southern states creeping into to 100s. Like us, some flock members prefer these warmer temps and by choosing the right breed it can help make raising a flock much more enjoyable.
