The ears of birds, including chickens, are simpler than those of mammals, but have a comparable ability to detect sounds of various frequencies. The biggest difference, obviously, is that birds do not have external ear structures like people do. The ear channels are below and behind their eyes, and are protected by special feathers. (Some diving birds have heavier feathers). In the middle ear, where humans have a system of three bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup), birds have a single bone called the columella. Also, there is no separate area of inner and outer "hair cells" within the chicken's cochlea, the fluid-filled inner ear. (for more information, see author link)

Do BABY chicks have ears?

Yes, chickens are born with auditory receptors. They are not like human ears. They will develop feathering over the ear canal as they get older. This feathering is often used to help determine the color of eggs the chicken will produce as most breeds ear feathers are the same color as the shell of the egg they lay. It also important that you don't touch their ears, as they are very sensitive.

Are chickens evil?

No. Chickens are chickens....they don't scheme or plan on taking over the world. They don't even attack humans maliciously. If a supposedly 'mean' rooster attacks a human, it's because the human aggravated him somehow or got between him and his hens. So it's the human's fault, not knowing how to deal with chickens. Chickens are actually one of the nicest, gentlest kind of bird you can have.
