I’ve seen people with chickens in outside in winter and was wondering whether that’s a good idea. Don’t they also need some kind of heating or warmth? My expectation was for their livable temperatures to be from 10-35C or something.

Kind of a tangent, but their body temp is also why bird flu is such a big deal.
A fever isnt straight up caused by illness, it’s a protection system because the heat will kill the virus.
Because chickens have such a high basal temperature, when stuff jumps from birds to mamals, it’s already evolved to handle the highest temps a human can get to. So we lose one of the best tools in our natural toolbox to fight it
