I sort of expected hawks to nail them, taking them to be a protein source
in the winter (though they seem to ignore them so far). That would be a
daytime threat, though.

At night they're always high up in a Maple tree.

Do they need feeding in the cold? Or just snow? They have access to the
normal wild bird leaf-scratching and turning-over food, whatever it is
they find there, in the fence rows and fields.

They do stick together, in spite of minor fight beginnings, and head out
every day with a single mind to go somewhere.

Throw them some cracked corn each day and they should do all right.
Since they were dumped on you there is no obligation to do so. If you
don't want them around, put an add up at the local feed mill saying free
leghorn roosters, you catch and see if someone comes around to get them.

They're all seven still hanging around, so snow and cold doesn't seem to
have phased them.
