All ducks waddle

And most chickens have wattles to some extent. the genes for beards and crests casue wattles to be smaller to non-existant. To be shown, male gamebirds must be dubbed, so you will usually not see wattles on them.

Some breeds tend to have larger wattles (leghorns, for example), some smaller. Hens wattles are typically smaller than a male of hte same breed, but may be larger than a male of a different breed.
