Here's some of the flock browsing through before the snow. I was sure that the turkey in about the middle of the picture in the 1st and 4th shots was a gobbler because of the more colorful(red) head when I first saw it. But after looking closely at it I think it's a hen like the rest appears to be. The reason I thought it would be a gobbler was because of the colorfully head. Hens generally have a bluish-gray head and the gobblers have brighter reds and blues. The bird in question would also have add a beard and spurs on it's legs if it was a gobbler. Both of which I can't see on either bird. So I guess it's just a very colorful hen(s) :).
In closing I want to wish each of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Did you know that hens can grow beards as well? We have a white palm turkey hen with a pretty long beard. Poor thing. Haha!
