I thought Steve had said some hens have beards, or am I making this up?

Oh, Steeeeeeeeeeeve!!!

I think it's usually just older hens that might grow a beard.

This is Sharon and yes turkey hens have beards too. They do not grow as fast as the Tom's.

Maybe but Sharon has been known to gobble. Did I say that?

We were planning on it.....should we wait?

No dont wait, unless you really want a larger bird, but I would definately have him for Christmas. BBW will get huge my biggest was 36 lbs and dressed out just over 24 lbs.
I should note, I would have had a slightly smaller bird, but I had a last minute cancellation(and you know who you are)

I said i was coming! You were supposed to leave the window open for me... (and maybe enlarge it a little so i dont get stuck.. )
