From Wikipedia:

Males typically have a "beard" consisting of modified feathers that stick out from the breast. Beards average 9 inches (230 mm) in length. In some populations, 10 to 20 percent of females have a beard, usually shorter and thinner than that of the male.

A male turkey grows a cluster of long, hair like feathers from the center of its chest. This cluster is known as the turkey's beard. On adult males, these beards average about 9 inches long. 10 to 20 percent of hens also grow beards.

The patch of dark hair on the male turkey's chest is called a beard. It's actually, a dark patch of feathers, not hair.

Can you dye a birthmark on your hair?

Yes, you can. I know a few people with birthmarks in their hair. One friend has blonde hair and has a patch of dark brown hair, the other has dark blonde hair with a patch of grey. And I have a really small patch of hair that grows coarse black hair, I have dark brown hair and this patch is much thicker than the rest of my hair. Think it's pretty cool though. It grows insanely fast too.

How much chest hair should a fourteen year old have?

It depends. A female shouldn't (and if her hormonal balance was correct, WOULDN'T) have an excessive amount of chest hair. So, assuming you are a male, any amount of chest hair is perfectly normal. Factors that could contribute to more or less chest hair include your ethnicity,when puberty began for you and what stage you are currently in, and your testosterone level. Or you may realize your chest hair has become more noticeable because it is a dark shade, not only because it is thicker. And if you don't have any chest hair,that's also fine. Many guys barely develop any at all. Hope this helps!!
