Last Saturday I was fortunate to see 4 long beards, about 7 jakes, 8 hens and 2 bearded hens in one bunch. Like yours, both bearded hens sported about 6" beards. I got to watch them for over an hour from about 100 yards with the toms strutting and chasing the jakes all over the place. Luckily, they were in the same area on opening day and one of the longbeards expired at 5:43 in the morning.
