The wattles are the two appendages under the chin. I’ve noticed as I’m getting older I’m starting grow wattles as well. The Comb and Wattles are in fact sexual characteristics and are more prominent in roosters. The male chicken breathes about 18 to 21 times a minute and the female about 31 to 37 times when they are not under stress. The heart beat of chickens is rather fast, being about 286 times a minute in males and 312 in females in a resting condition.
