There are several reasons why chickens have feathers. They will protect the birds from rain, cold, sun, and injuries. They can help small and light birds fly, if needed. Birds with feathered feet "expand" their feathers ( on their feet ) to use as snowshoes so they don't sink into the snow. Also, they can use bright feathers to attract mates, or, more importantly, to use as camouflage to hide from predators. Thanks for asking!

The beak of chickens is just like any other mouth. It helps the chicken eat food like corn and grain. Chicken beaks do not have teeth because that is just how chickens and other birds are made.
