Yes at least most speices. My Gray Slates all have beards I have 4, 3 hens and 1 tom. My 2 black turkeys are hens and they both have very long beards. My bronze turkeys that are female do not have beards. I think it depends on the speices. My hens all lay eggs except one of my two broad breasted whites. One has a tiny beard but the other does not. They are indeed both female but I think it has been bred out of them to breed.

Turkeys do occasionally lose their beards. This is largely due to accidents or injuries inflicted on the animal against its will.
