(I’m glad this is consistent with your observations! You can make bearded hens, but it’s not a rank, since the physical trait makes them no different from the other hens in rank. Acorn is actually bearded. Accepted. Sounds like Petrichor has someone to complain to.)(Wow, @Amer, this looks REALLY cool! And your research is great! I haven’t gotten to see this wild turkey behavior yet, but my Grandmother has lots of turkey info that basically is what you’ve listed. She’s seen multiple hen flocks in the wintertime with clear hierarchies, as well as jake ’sib’ groups.
Have you considered making a bearded hen rank?)
Name: Hedgeapple
Oak or Spur Flock: Oak
Rank: Lower ranking hen,
Age: 2 years. She’s jaded, and has survived for quite some time.
Breed: Eastern Wild,
Appearance: Large for a hen, bearded. She has some domestic blood in her. She is mainly a dark copper color, with white patches.
History: She’s been around for a while and has raised many clutches of chicks. She had wandered on her own for the first year of her life, so she just joined the Oak Flock.
Personality: Crotchety at first, but she is kind and motherly once you know her.
Other: Pro frog catcher. No turkey can out-frog Hedgeapple
I’ll draw a pic of her soon.
