The 4B Hen Capes are dense and hold their shape well. I used them in several streamer patterns and found the hackle cheeks very useful for tying. The size range is solid for different fly designs.

Good quality feathers with consistent hackle. A bit more variation than expected in color, but still works well for my tying projects. Sizing is accurate and easy to work with.

I’ve been using these for a few weeks now and they’ve held up well in both dry fly and wet fly patterns. The soft cheeks make it easier to attach to other components.
