Yes, both hens and rooster develop combs and wattles. The roosters often have large one's but the hens need them for cooling as much as the cockerels. Combs and wattle provide an area on the bird free of feathers and allows blood to flow close to the surface of the skin and better able to utilized cool air to cool off the blood. Chickens do not sweat, they pant and use the comb and wattle to expel heat during those hot summer days.
