CHICKEN EYES AND NOSTRILS
Eyes
attached are also much bigger than in mammals such as humans.
Orbits are made of many small bones that merged together. They made a thin plate.
Nostrils
Located at the end of the beak

EYELIDS
Chickens have 3 eyelids:
upper eyelid
Lower eyelid
Nictitating membrane
![Page 7: Class aves centrum](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042602/5585e933d8b42a812a8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
NICTITATING MEMBRANE
transparent or translucent third eyelid
can be drawn across the eye
for protection and to moisten it while maintaining visibility
to protect the parents' eyes from their chicks while they are feeding them
![Page 8: Class aves centrum](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042602/5585e933d8b42a812a8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BEAKS AND EAR OPENINGS
Have a pointy beak for picking up food
No teeth are present Located at the sides of
their head behind the eyes
covered by feathers
are more like ear holes
No outer ear, or pinna
They have visible ear lobes
![Page 9: Class aves centrum](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042602/5585e933d8b42a812a8b45b3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It is believed that the same gene that determines the color of the ear lobe also determines egg color.
Their ear lobes also can be colored from near white to near black. These birds will lay eggs that are nearly white to a deep, soft brown. The shade of brown of the egg will be indicated by the degree of color of the ear lobe. In other words, a chicken with blackish lobes will not lay a black egg, but it may be a deep brown.

WATTLE
Wattles are located under the chin.
They are meaty, red growths.
Both male and female chicken have wattles.
wattles cools down the chicken.
This happens when the blood circulates from the comb to the wattles. The circulating blood lowers the temperature of the chicken during the hot weather.

COMB
fleshy protuberance on top of the head of a chicken
the cockerel have a larger comb than the hen chicken
act as a cooling mechanism for the birds
large combs on males attract females as chickens can detect colour and are very attracted to the colour red.
serves as an indicator of the bird’s health.
