Claire Vinten answered on 14 Mar 2014:
Well, chickens actually do have little tongues in their beak! They don’t have teeth though.
Chickens eat by picking up the seed in their beak, tilting their head back and swallowing it whole! It then goes into the gizzard (their first stomach) where is it crunched up by the big muscles there and digested by fluids that contain enzymes.
Hope that answers your question 🙂

awww cool i never new that :D. Claire do you know how little the chickens tongues are? 🙂
Claire commented on :
Yes they are very tiny! They fit inside the bottom part of the beak. And they can’t move their tongues as well as we can – they can’t move them very much at all!
