Bearded hen question?

[Notsoyoungturk]

Hunt in West Tennessee.  We have a number of bearded hens on the place.  Last 3 gobblers killed were double bearded.  The second beard was not very large.  The hen beards seem to be about 5-6 inches.  I have never seen one strut or act in anyway different from the other hens.  Interestingly and to my knowledge, I have never witnessed a Tom mate with a bearded hen but from everything I have read they do breed.

I rarely see bearded hens in the parts of Kentucky I hunt. In my opinion it has to be little pockets of genetics favoring bearded hens. I've seen this in mammals. One property I deer hunt has a propensity for producing deer with double throat patches. Some public land close to my house has a good number of black squirrels on part of it. I'm no scientific mastermind but that stuff is interesting to me.

So probably 10-15 years ago I watched 2 albino hens in a clearing while turkey hunting. Just this last year a saw an albino deer in the same area several times. It's just weird. Not the best picture but pretty cool
