Ostheimer Wooden Figures - Ochre Hen with Long Neck

It looks like this Ostheimer ochre hen has spotted something extremely interesting, perhaps some chicken feed, or maybe even a sly old fox who has come to cause havoc at the farm! Each brushstroke has been carefully handpainted. 3.2cm high

Subtle shades of white, ochre yellow and grey have been selected to create a realistic-looking hen. The handcarving has been skillfully completed so we can practically feel the strain as the hen reaches forward with its head and neck.

Your little one will love to add this ochre hen to their farm collection, or keep it safe in the chicken house. Full of character, this Ostheimer hen would make a lovely addition to a story sack.
