Default RE: question about jakes?

Y-gun..the term jake refers to a tom/male bird that is generally only about a year to year and half old!Toms have nothing to do with the raising of the chicks which are referred to as poults!Its very possible the hen you are seeing has a beard,its not all that uncommon nowadays!As far as the coloration is concerned it is possible the bird has some tame blood in him or there is the possibilty the bird being wild ,sports a gray or smoky faze that many even on board here have seen in the wild..heres a pic of a gobbler with unusal color variations....
