Is this beard special? Wondering if anyone can shed light on why my turkeys beard is the way it is..

one thick beard that is probably a split beard,i killed one a few years ago that when the bird was walking looked just like he had 2 huge beards,when i finally killed him it was actually one beard that was split down the middle but didnt actually grow from two seperate spots,if that makes since.even now hanging with all the other beards it looks like there are two together.congrats on a great bird though!

This beard was double the thickness of any I've ever seen and 12-3/4" long. Eastern
