[GarrettW]

I have this 1.5 year old turkey, and I cannot figure out what sex it is. It's either the wimpiest jake ever, or a bearded hen.

No, she has not. One of her wings was amputated the fall before, so my thoughts were that getting her wing amputated messed with her.

Could be. I have had one bearded Sweetgrass hen that never laid an egg.
