Pretty neat. I've seen about 3 total in my life.


If someone has a negative comment, just think it out loud and go on. No need to put it in ink for the world to see.

How does a hen end up with a beard??? Pretty cool

 

[benellivol]

I've got two bearded hens running on the property I hunt. I've never seen one anywhere else but there.

I have some good trail cam pics of a bearded hen. A pretty good beard too

 

[TheRealSpurhunter]

I have seen about 10 of them in different places. I have never had the chance, but probably would shoot one if offered the opportunity and didnt think I would mess up a shot at a gobbler.
I had two on camera this year before season started, havnt seen the first sign of them since it opened though.

Have only seen one in real time, a few on trail cams. That would be a great mount, very rare. Must have someting to do with womans rights. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Congrats,that will be a good one for the dining table!

 

[Boll Weevil]

very rare.

Must vary a lot...maybe localized flock genetics? I see them all the time on my farm.

Cool

Congrats to him!

Cool. We have one on our farm, she hangs out in the same general area and the beard gets longer every year. She also has a noticeable limp when she walks, makes it easy to ID her. I know for a fact she is 5 years old, her beard is around 6-7" long now.

 

[shopson]

You don't see them daily but it's fairly common.

 

[Gravey]

Congrats to him.
