everyone is entitled to 1 bearded hen congrats on it, now let me say my piece, this is from almost 40 years of turkey hunting experience.
30% of all hens have a beard, the beard becomes visable at around 5 years of age, bearded hens are older productive individuals they know how to successfully raise a clutch, they are what carries on the population. young hens don't raise many young, congrats on your harvest,just giving you something to think about, that hen was 7 0r 8 years old.
