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.
Swelling on a rooster's wattle can be a sign of injury, infection, or a health issue such as fowlpox or avian pox. It is important to monitor the swelling closely and consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
A hen is officially an adult when she starts laying and has a full comb and wattle. A rooster is officially an adult when he starts crowing, fertilizing eggs, and has a full comb and wattle. Remember that a hen's comb and wattle should be smaller than a rooster's comb and wattle.

So, if you put them together, you might get a short person admiring a rooster's stylish comb... or something like that.

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.
