Chickens do not have a dewlap like some other birds or reptiles. Instead, they have a comb, which is the fleshy crest on the top of their heads, and wattles, which are the fleshy extensions under their beaks. These features can vary in size and shape among different breeds of chickens and play roles in thermoregulation and mating displays. While not a dewlap, these characteristics serve similar purposes in terms of communication and health.
