[AROD]

is it a hen or jake

 

[woodsman87]

bearded hen. There is a red headed one in the back that looks to be a jake or gobbler though.

 

[AROD]

thats what i thought because all of the other jakes in the other pics have really small beards and red heads. this is the only pic of her so far

 

[FARMTOFIELD]

Thats a she-male

 

[woodsman87]

Reckon the gobblers treat her like we would a super model with a beard?

 

[AROD]

+ 1 for hen, It has a nice thick beard, usually only see pencil beards in the ladies.

Agree, it's a thick beard for a hen but it definitely looks to be a hen.

I have had several occasions that I could have taken a bearded hen but never have. I had an old timer tell me years ago that a bearded hen had alot better odds of producing multi-bearded toms. We don't kill the hens on the farms we hunt and have killed several mulit-bearded toms. Don't know if there is any truth to it or not, I just always give them a pass because every time I see one I remember what the ole timer told me.
