The feathers create the perfect coat to keep out any water from reaching their skin and seeping in.

The rooster will pick a hen out of the flock. He will approach her and do a side step dance with his wing tips touching the ground. He does this a few times as he approaches close enough to grab her neck feathers with his beak. Once he has hold of her she will squat down as close to the ground as possible and the rooster will climb onto her back while still holding on to her neck feathers. The rooster positions himself on the hens saddle area, which is in the center of the back just above the tail. The hen will lift her tail and invert her cloaca at the same time the rooster will lower his tail area. Both birds cloaca will touch, called the "cloacal kiss" At this point the rooster will release a sperm sac which will enter the hens cloaca and travel up the oviduct . The rooster will dismount and go look for another hen while the hen will dust herself off and straighten ruffled feathers.
