I've watched them sit on the roostmost of themorning when it's real windy. They'll usually come down before too long for food, water, or sometimes the urge to get busy.

That scenario, in my experience, they usually will hot foot it out to an open field or open area where they can get a lookin every direction for safety's sake.

The wind makes too much of a ruckus and they're not comfy when they can only use their eyes as defense without the aid of their hearing...which is pretty decent.
