Chickens lay eggs and don't need nipples to nurse their young. The chicks eat the some of the egg when they r hatched. They really don't need their mothers once they r hatched. Also it is kind of a funny question--LOL

Because the production of milk is a mammalian characteristic. Birds , being more closely related to crocodiles and dinosaurs than mammals, do not have mammary gland, do not produce minlk and therefore do not have nipples.

don't know. but go into a chicken place and order two breasts with nipples and watch the reaction. I have done it for many many years and it is still funny.

Thousands of years ago, a swarm of beavers attacked the chicken compund and bit all their nipples off... Sad, isn't it? But so very true!

Only mammals need nipples to nurse their young.

No, I haven't ever wondered.
MAMMALS are the ones with nipples, because they feed their young milk.
Chickens are BIRDS, who do NOT nurse their young, they feed them the same thing they eat - worms and bugs and grass.

Chickens are not mamals. They do not give their babies milk, which is the reason behind nipples.
