Marge,
In case you haven't yet received an answer from someone else, it is a
"rete mirabile" that helps keep birds' feet from freezing:

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.
