No living birds have teeth as adults, some have an "egg tooth" but it's not for biting or chewing, it's to break their shell so they can hatch.

Prehistoric birds did have teeth, some were quite impressive.

Birds do not have teeth, although some species of geese have tooth-like serrations called 'tomia' which run along the outside of the top and bottom of their bills, and look very much like teeth.

yes, pigs have teeth.

Pigs do have teeth. They have 44 teeth to be exact, and they are omnivorous, which means they eat every kind of food, like humans, they need teeth to do that.

Hens do not have teeth. They have a beak, sometimes referred to as a bill. They grind their food down with a gizzard, an organ found in their throat.

No. Hens do not ovulate the same as mammals. They produce an egg approximately every 24 hours in their prime laying months.
