Bearded Lady

Just like PT Barnum featured a Bearded Lady in his circus sideshow I have one too.

And I'm no sucker for a scam because this gal is the real deal.

For awhile I've been following the coming and goings of this oddity of the turkey kingdom and it would appear that she's taken-up residence here at The Platz to raise a brood maybe?

A bearded turkey hen is a female turkey (hen) that has a beard, a tuft of bristle-like feathers growing from the breast.  

While all toms (male turkeys) have beards, about 10% of hens also develop them, though usually shorter and thinner than those of toms. Bearded hens still breed, lay eggs, and raise broods like any other hen.
