I have to admit, that sounds complely crazy... But somehow, it makes sense. That beard, unless it had some other use, would just be a hindrance as it would increase drag massivly.

Maybe the baby ceadeus is kept in the beard until it is too large, and it could be the ceadei's version of a kangaroo keepings it's baby in it's pouch. Baby kangaroo's are actually about the size of your thumb, complety blind and bald. They are born then sit in the pouch for some time until they can leave. I'm thinking the baby ceadeus is in fact very small, maybe the size of a dog (OK, not that small then, but in comparison).
