Chickens are covered in feathers. These help the chicken to keep warm. They also help a chicken to fly, or at least to slow its fall if it happens to be dropped or fall from a height. Chicks have more of a fluffy coating while their feathers have not developed. It functions mainly to keep them warm. Chicks can easily die of cold, hence they are raised in an area with a heat lamp that they can sleep under, and out of any draughts.
