LOL, he almost was dinner....except he is my best rooster.....he really defends my flock, against hawks, or whatever.....he was basically enamoured with my fleece pants blowin' in the wind, lol. Thought I was some fancy hen, I guess.

As for the coop temp....they have an insulated coop with a 250 watt heat lamp....and really chickens don't need it....think wild turkeys! Rooster feet get red when they are smitten.

As for the prednisone, I have some autoimmune process going on....got so stiff I would have qualified for a perch in a museum. Moving was like pulling very stiff taffy.

I looked and felt like a rusty cartoon Transformer going up the stairs....boom, boom, click, boom. It's better now. Now I have new problems, but I will take the mobility and energy the low dose prednisone afforded.
