It's a hen ( mostly). Plumage tells it. Gobblers really shine in the sun/ hens not so much. This bird has little shine. Whatever it really is I feel strongly enough to stand by hen and not consider aiming.....

You know what they say, If it looks like a hen, walks like a hen, Its a hen.

Definitely a bearded hen. I see them fairly often in my neighborhood in Wisconsin

You know this could all be figured out if you would just check under the tail feathers.

I would have said, at first glance, bearded hen. However, there are some black tipped breast feathers, at least my phone looks that way. Big footed rascal too. Head looks way larger to me than a hen also. Overall body and tail makes me think jake. The pencil thin beard makes me hen however. Tough call. I have witness a hen strut and gobble though. Up close and personal..... I think I would go with my hen thought tho....just to be safe.

Also, the thin beard indicates a hen

ferocious calls

Mature hen. They make great mothers. Perhaps it is a testosterone imbalance. They are generally more aggressive than the other hens. I once harvested a strutting,  gobbling bearded hen with pearl colored spurs.

I'd post the pic, but haven't figured out how to with the new format.

ferocious calls

I have a hen that I can make strutt by aggressively purring at her. She will instantly go into strutt and loudly purr. Follows me around purring as if she will attack. She knows better though.
