The red appendage under the roosters beak is indeed called a wattle. Both wattle and comb have two purposes, they cool the bird during the hot summer and help attract mates. Chickens do not sweat, blood circulates through the wattle and comb and excess heat is dispersed into the air helping to cool the bird down.

∙ 15y agoThat featherless flap of red skin hanging down from a chickens beak is called a WATTLE.
Most chickens, male or female have wattles and combs. Combs are the red featherless skin that grows from the top of their heads. Some breeds do not have them, or at least have noticeable one's. Wattles and combs, besides being attractive to the opposite gender of each breed are mostly useful for cooling the bird during hot weather. Chickens do not sweat, they pant, they become less active, dig depressions in the dust/cool earth and they allow air to pass over the combs and wattles to help cool themselves down. Think of them as little radiators, releasing heat.
