The red adornments on a chicken's head are there primarily to help get rid of excess body heat. Sometimes they can be detrimental as when the comb is long, droopy and gets in the way of eating, or the when tissue can be frostbitten in the winter and an infection can set in. Other roosters also use the comb as an attack site.
- Comb: the fleshy projection along the skull crown.
- Wattles: fleshy projection under the lower beak
- Earlobes: fleshy projection extending down from the ear holes. If the breed lays brown or colored eggs, the lobe will be all red. If the breed lays white eggs, the lobe will be pale to white.
