boyst Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattle_(anatomy) as i learn more about chickens i go back to things i know or loosely know to learn more. this is part of it. i probably knew at one point the purpose of the wattle but forgot. A wattle is a fleshy caruncle hanging from various parts of the head or neck in several groups of birds and mammals. A caruncle is defined as 'A small, fleshy excrescence that is a normal part of an animal's anatomy'.[1] Within this definition, caruncles in birds include wattles, dewlaps, snoods and earlobes. Wattles are generally paired structures but may occur as a single structure when it is sometimes known as a dewlap. Wattles are frequently organs of sexual dimorphism. In some birds, caruncles are erectile tissue and may or may not have a feather covering.[1][2] Wattles are often such a striking morphological characteristic of animals that it features in their common name. For example, the southern and northern cassowary are known as the double-wattled and single-wattled cassowary respectively, and there is a breed of domestic pig known as the red wattle. ... In birds, wattles are often an ornament for courting potential mates. Large wattles are correlated with high testosterone levels, good nutrition and the ability to evade predators, which in turn indicates a potentially successful mate. It has also been proposed that ornamental organs such as wattles are associated with genes coding for disease resistance.[3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eons ago they had a farm in which my dad bought a cow for butchering when it was full grown. I guess he didn't like toe other cows in my cousins fields because the damn thing kept escaping the fields and wandering over to a neighbors farm. We started calling him Jessie James.
