Hi Emmanuelle,

This is a bit cryptic!  The information is in the "Gap" track.  You can 
use the Table Browser to get a list of their positions (or even to make 
a custom track of only the centromeres).

To get the list, go to the Table Browser and select the chicken assembly 
you are using, and then:

group: Mapping and Sequencing Tracks
track: Gap
table: gap
region: genome

Then hit the "filter: create" button and add a filter so that "type does 
match centromere".

Here is the result (with only some fields selected) for the gap table on 
galGal3:

#filter: chr1_gap.type = 'centromere'
#chrom  chromStart      chromEnd        size    type
chr1    76857402        78357402        1500000 centromere
chr2    52291241        53791241        1500000 centromere
chr3    11629676        13129676        1500000 centromere
chr4    19307568        20807568        1500000 centromere

chr17   0       500000  500000  centromere
