Long necks, their throat muscles need gravity to help them get food and water down.

If you will notice, almost all birds tilt their heads back when they drink. If they have a large piece of food, they will let gravity help move it down to the throat to aid in swallowing. You may have seen a chicken eating a large insect, and needed some help swallowing it.

To watch out for Chicken Hawks?? Seriously...they are also called Harris Hawks, and Red Tailed Hawks.
Chickens also find it easier to swallow when they tilt their heads back, especially for water.

they look up in the sky to see
whether an eagle or other enemy bird is coming or not....
or a cat on the roof.....
If it is coming, the chicken can run & hide ....

not when they eat but when they drink they do that so the water runs down their beak into their mouth
