The word you seem to be referring to is WATTLES the flaps of tissue hanging from the "chin" under the beak.

Not all roosters have them but most do.

I raise Araucana chickens and this breed often does not have them. There are a few other breeds that do not develop the wattle.

Does your rooster have to be a certain age to cut off the wattle?

I can't think of many conditions or needs for a wattle to be trimmed, unless it is severely damaged by frostbite. Generally you would not cut the wattle. It is a devise to release heat from the bird, and cutting it, as does frostbite, leaves the bird suceptible to infection.
