Evaluate suitability for your climate

Solution

Choose breeds known to tolerate your local climate extremes (heat, humidity, cold).

Explanation

Some breeds are more heat-tolerant (e.g., Mediterranean chicken breeds, Nigerian Dwarf goats) while others are more cold-hardy (e.g., Chantecler chickens, Nubian goats may need more protection in extreme cold). Rabbits are particularly sensitive to heat stress.

Notes

Even with appropriate breeds, providing adequate shelter, shade, ventilation, and water is crucial.
