?
I’m going to guess this question was inspired by a recent episode of “King Of The Hill”.
No, chickens have a very limited capacity for holding their breath and every attempt at domestication by dolphins has resulted in the roosters drowning along with the hens.
Ohh you meant penises?
Yes, of course they do. WHy do you ask?
I don’t know if this is true or not but I have heard of male dolphins extending the ‘flying finger of friendship’ to human female swimmers.
Do you know who to use Google?

I’d stick with the chin, if I were you.
what about birds? do birds bone other birds?
…must…resist…temptation…
I just got throught that dolphinsex.com page - I know there is a lot of weird stuff on the net but this is just beyond the pale.

or perhaps Pokey 
Please…we at the Straight Dope only use the proper and scientific terms for genital organs, not locker room and bordello slang.
So let’s rephrase the question:
** Do dolphins have tallywhackers? **
(read in Jacques Cousteau accent)
A prehensile penis would come in very handy (ahem) if you were an aquatic creature with no arms. I’m sure that dolphins, being the astute creatures they are, probably have a good chuckle whenever they see the human male skinnydip in their presence (most often in pairs along the outer shores of Key West). At most we can pry open things or knock up things with our penes - as we only have 2 formats, hard and floppy. The fortunate dolphin can multitask with their prehensile, retractable, and fully adjustible smucks.
That depends on the species. The heavier species such as ostriches and waterfowl have penises, while the songbirds, pigeons etc. don’t. It’s all about lightening the load for flight dontcha know.

I seem to remember an actress that was in Cocoon, (Tahnee Welch?) My memory of this film is mercifully vague…
Where was I? Oh yeah… This actress was on Late Night with David Letterman, promoting the film, and she was talking about the dolphins getting “frisky” with her. When they get a woody, their bellies turn pink. Isn’t that cute?
I think only about half of them do.

Seeing the nick “Johnson” and the title “Member” right next to each other in a thread about animal genitalia is very disconcerting.

Do dolphins small like fish or whale? Or just plain old dolphin? What do they smell like?
and how!
I’ve heard that if you go out whale watching that it is possible to see the males surfacing with a hardon. Flapping the water and/or jumping out of water is part of the mating and so they are likely to be ready for action.
Well, if male birds don’t have a penis, I’d hate to imagine what those lorikeets I saw at the zoo were doing!
As for the OP, as I understood it, male bottle-nosed dolphins peni are somewhat like a switchblade, and kept inside their bodies for protective reasons until needed. I had read that some species of birds were similar, such as some species of ducks among others. I am pretty sure the author I read that from was Desmond Morris.
Parrots don’t have penises. They basically just press close to one another and let it splatter around. There may be some external cloacal shaping that assists in this but there’s no penis. The birds that do have penises keep them inside the body when not in use, but this is true of many mammals as well. How often do you see a kangaroo’s or even a cat’s penis?
(And I’m sure I’ll regret posing that rhetorical question in this thread)
