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.

    Hmmm, the ones I saw were basically just roofs with cage wires as “walls”. And there were multiple. It felt like I had to call animals services, but my knowledge of chicken is just pretty much non-existent besides “they lay eggs and can’t fly”.

      They can fly

      Long story, but after some recreational activities I was driving a scooter about 45mph down a mountain and a chicken flew across the road and hit me directly in the chest.

      Chickens, turkeys, peacocks, etc aren’t going to soar thru the air. But it’s not exactly hard for them to get 15-20 feet off the ground and they can stretch it pretty far especially when going from high to low ground.
