The red organ under the beak of a chicken is called a wattle.

What is the red part on the neck of a rooster?
That dangley red thing hanging from under the chickens beak is call a wattle. It is the same material as the comb on the top of its head. Combs and wattles are attractive to other chickens of the same species and they also serve as little radiators to reduce heat in the chickens body. Blood gets closer to the surface of the skin in the wattle and comb and therefore cools as it passes through.
What do you call the red thing on top of a rooster's head?
The red "skin" on a rooster is called the comb and wattle. The comb is the fatty loose "decoration" on the roosters head and is used for both cooling the rooster when it is hot and for attracting a mate. There are eight distinct varieties of combs on chickens and roosters. These are the varieties recognized by breeders, Buttercup, Cushion, Pea, Rose, Silkis, Single, Strawberry and V-shaped. The wattle is made of the same material, hangs under the neck and does the same job as the comb…it is the area of the chicken where the blood comes closest to the surface of the skin and allows air to cool the blood running through it.
