The HDR Feeder Hen, by Avian-X, is designed to imitate a mature hen feeding with a high exposed back, and lowered primary wing feathers. Paired with the HDR Strutter following behind, and these birds make for a great late-morning to mid-day setup. The HDR Feeder Hen is also well-positioned for a larger spread of three or four decoys, for a natural-looking early-season setup.
HDR decoys are all blow-molded from hand-carved designs, to provide both detail and durability. Leg stubs are rubber molded, which pair with with a lifelike paint scheme, feather detail and flocked rump for a realistic appearance. The decoy comes complete with a carry bag and lightweight composite stake that secures and stores in the tail. The decoy also does not spin unnaturally.
