waddles

[RAWR]

what does it mean when a rooster's waddles are hot/cold??

The wattles are usually warmish (not hot or not cold) but body temp. I would say it generally reflects the temp of the bird, though could be cold in winter. I know the color of the wattles can tell you if a bird is sick -- a nice red healthy wattle is good, but a shrunken, purplish, dark wattle means illness.

Means he's been hanging out with too many ducks they waddle Chickens have Wattles

Agreed it's all relative to body temp also a good indicator of their health
