Yes.

"Birds have 3 eyelids; one upper and one lower eyelid, of which the lower is more moveable, and a nictitating membrane. This nictitating membrane is between the other two eyelids and the cornea and has its own lubricating duct equivalent to our tear duct. It is used in cleaning and protecting the eye."

Yes. There are 2 small slits on their beaks, usually at the base of the comb.

If you happened to drop dead or faint in your coop, and your chickens were hungry; I think it very likely that they would. Don't try this at home !
