Honoring my Hen with Partridge and Orange

I had a chicken hen that recently died. I plucked her feathers and saved them for use in my flies. Her breed was called a silver phoenix, and their feathers are beautifully mottled and resemble a partridge. So I decided to tie up a partridge and orange fly in her honor. They are classy looking patterns that are still effective on trout even today. The feathers while look similar do have different properties as a partridge. The hen feathers are softer and therefor dont stick out straight as much.

I dig when you do these videos. Harvest and using the home brew feathers are the best. Nothing to waste.

Thanks! Yes nothing is wasted. We ate the chicken and I’m using her feathers
