Charlie Craven's Adams' materials?

[ggh]

I'm a beginning fly tier who has purchased Charlie Craven's beautiful book, Basic Fly Tying. I am attempting to work my way through it using the materials and instructions he has provided. (As you can probably can tell, I'm a little bit obsessive-compulsive.) I have arrived at the Adams fly. He has a very definite opinion that the wings on an Adam should be made from (grizzly) "generic barnyard hen necks". The only problem is where the heck can I buy some? Anyone got any they will sell me?
Thanks,
George

Most the guys I know don't put wings on at all thinking the wings are more for the fisherman than the fish or use hair wings. I call what I tye an Almost Adams. I still catch a few fish with it.

To answer your question, Conranch probably has the feathers that would fit that description or Craven's Fly Box shop probably has it.

He wants the wide webby feathers. You want to call around for someone who raises Plymouth Rock Chickens.

Here are what the females look like

Most Chinese and Indian hen capes will fill the bill.

Metz Hen Necks are a little wider than the Whiting but both are fine and easily available.

Ding, ding. A Whiting Hen Neck will do just fine. The Fly Shop (theflyshop.com) has them in stock.
Feather supply got really screwed up due to the whole "feather head" thing but seems to be coming back slowly.
