Hello WisBirders: I read somewhere that there is something about bird legs/feet that makes them able to tolerate the cold with their feet exposed. Now I can't remember what it was or where I read it. This topic came up in our office kitchen between me and a colleague who is raising urban chickens. I said I thought there would be many WisBirdnetters who would know the answer to this, and since our email traffic is low in this pre-migration period, it was a good time to toss it out there.
