The ceca in the digestive tract of chickens is used for water absorption and trace minerals.
The ceca is thought to increase digestive and absorptive area. It is located anterior to the midgut
Chickens have 2 ceca. The proximal ceca, close to the ileo rectal junction, has villi and micro villi and transports sugars and amino acids. This action is basically the same as those described for the small intestine. The medial-distal ceca does not have true villi but has mounds and ridges, and it cannot transport either sugars or amino acids in an adult bird. In chicks, the whole cecum can accumulate and transport sugars, but this property is soon restricted only to the proximal region. The medial cecum, retains some transport capacity until the 8th week after hatch. Ceca are suited for sugar and amino acid absorption. Their contribution to the overall nutrient absorption is, limited, because the absorbing epithelium is exposed to the intestinal contents only during the filling and emptying of the segments. A very short period.
Pyloric ceca are finger-like projections found in the intestine of some animals, such as fish, amphibians, and insects. They increase the surface area of the intestine for absorption of nutrients and can also play a role in digestion and enzyme secretion.
Their feet follow the function that they are put to.
Chickens are chickens because god made them.

Yes, chickens do have colons (2nd and middle section of the intestines) , but they are very short compared to a human colon. They also have 2 ceca (1st section of the large intestine) which are very long and obvious when viewing the "guts".
Ceca Slavkovic is 170 cm.

Ceca Raznatovic is most famous for her Serbian Turbo folk music. Her stage name is Ceca. She is is born in June 1973. She is one of the most famous singers of Serbia.
The function of a chicken, like all animals, is to reproduce and spread their genetic code to further diversify their species. Humans may view the function of chickens as a resource for food, feathers, and similar products of chickens.
Ceca, a folk singer, was born in the country of Yugoslavia. However, Yugoslavia has since dissolved, and the part of Yugoslavia she was born in is called Serbia.
