well I have always been told that if theoutside tailfeathers are shorter than the center one's, then they are jakes. 4 of these birds had their tails fanned out, I asume to dry them out after the heavy morning dew, and all of them were roughly the same size birds, with almost identicle length beards. personally I don't think the length of beard determines if they are a tom or not.
