He's got nice beard length. I'd definately try to take him if he walks in front of you this spring.

Thats a good point. Gobblers usually don't travel with hens in the fall, with the exception of jakes.

definetly a bearded hen. The head is grey looking, I would say she is the dominate hen. I've actually seen hens fight for gobblers, pretty crazy stuff.

That could well be a hen the beard is pretty slim . If the color was better it would be easy to tell .

that is a hen. it has no waddles, and the feathers go all the way up to the top of its head. Hens can be amazing! i have seen them gobble, strutt, and do all kinds of things. only once though.
