The White Leghorn leads this group, with exceptional egg production on modest feed. Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Black Australorps are dependable brown egg layers that handle heat as well as cold. The Light Brahma rounds out the list with a large, stately frame.
Heat tolerant chicken breeds still need shade, airflow and plenty of cool, fresh water. Give them that, and they will handle summer far better than most.
