If you want a cape that has the majority of the hackle in a certain size range, Denny can do that for you. That is what is nice about ordering straight from the source.

Denny and his daughter raise the chickens, and can mark a rooster just for your special request. Conranch does not sell wholesale to fly shops, only direct to customers, so you save on money with no "Middle Man"!

Conranch chickens have longer ancestral records than most "Royal Families", and they have over twenty different families of chickens. Thing I really like about the hackle is the stem, which is oval. The oval stem on the hackle, allows the stem to flatten, when wrapping a collar on dry flies. I have not seen this in capes from any any other chicken farms that raise fly tying capes.
