It’s safe to say we humans are fascinated by the weather. It’s discussed frequently in local and national newscasts. It’s most likely something you consider before leaving the house and or making plans. We cope with the weather by adding or subtracting clothes and using tools such as umbrellas and scarves. We can get in the air conditioning or central heating depending on the need. But our chickens can’t do any of these things.
Chickens use physical adaptations and behavioral adaptations to deal with whatever Mother Nature throws at them, and they’re pretty good at it, too. But we can help make things easier for them. Working in concert with our chickens makes for a happy and productive flock.
