Hen pheasant with her brood

Yah Charlie...I plan on colony breeding them in that chicken tractor..Hopefully I get a good ratio of females/males. And yes I should be able to candle them here in 3-4 days! This is day 4.

Charlie, they're gorgeous!!

My question...

Does this 'sister' bird have a beard?!

It sure looks like it.

 

[SamG347]

LOL she does...I have seen some bearded hens when I'am out turkey hunting...doesnt surprise me it happens in pen stock too. Need to get her a shaving kit charlie!
lol

LOL no beard, its a feather coming off her chest or its on the ground not sure which one it is, but jody said she seen it to,

its a flaw in my pic

......Always hoping to get a beared hen, but none yet...

Heres a front shot of her in the winter..you can see no beard on her..
