Bearded hen?

[Steuben Jerry]

At the risk of asking a stupid question, bearded hen, right? I don’t recall ever seeing one before.

Quite common.  She's got a nice one too.

I agree. I had two all fall and winter at my place. Pretty common here where I am.

The good thing is they don’t gobble, strut, have a full fan, big spurs, a blue head or a penis.

Yup.  The other gobblers judge the tom that breeds her pretty hard when he makes "fly down of shame" out of her tree in the morning.

Yep, I have had many over the years, one was a gimp that lasted 5 years and was mature when in1st saw it so maybe 6 in the wild, always layed a good clutch of eggs., and raised a lot of points over the years.

Although I wouldn't shoot one in the spring , she is legal to take.   I hate that regulation.

They seem to be more common these days.

I have had several chicken Hens that crowed like a Rooster, other than their crowing they acted the same and laid eggs the same as all the other Hens.
