Black Polyresin Sitting Hen (2 sizes: 13x11xH12cm and 26x17xH20cm)

The hen at rest — compact body, wings tightly folded against the side, plumage fluffed in the characteristic posture of the animal that is brooding or resting between two adventures in the yard. This decorative hen sitting in hand-painted polyresin captures this moment of rural tranquility with a naturalness and realism that make it one of the most versatile pieces in the yard catalog.

Available in 4 colors — black, white, brown, yellow — and in 3 sizes with very different positioning: the Small (13x11xH12cm, 380g) for a ledge, a pot, or an interior composition; the Medium (26x17xH20cm, 1kg) for a terrace, a balcony, or a garden; the Large (46x30xH39cm, 4kg) for a garden where it stands out as a true signature piece. Each size is hand-painted in high-density polyresin (polystone) with the same precision of detail: clearly visible red comb, yellow beak, texture of the feathers characteristic of each color of plumage.

Frost resistant down to -20 °C, treated UV-resistant. Balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. 2-year warranty, reinforced packaging.

• In a plant pot or a planter (Small) : the Small (H12cm) nestled in the soil of a flower pot or at the edge of a planter creates a very charming miniature backyard composition. It naturally coexists with the vegetation and is gradually revealed — the surprise effect is guaranteed.
• On a terrace edge, a low wall, or a balcony railing (Small or Medium) : at H12 or H20cm, the sitting hen settles on any edge with perfect stability — its compact body and wide base ensure excellent hold, even on a surface slightly exposed to the wind.
• In a vegetable garden or on the ground of a garden (Medium or Large) : placed directly in the grass or soil of a vegetable garden, the Medium or the Large evokes the hen settled in its favorite corner of the backyard. The Large (H39cm) is visible from several meters away and creates a true garden focal point.
• In a composition of three sizes in the same space : a Large in the back + a Medium at mid-distance + a Small in the foreground create a natural perspective and a very successful visual depth — as if the same hen was revealed at different scales in the space.
• In a backyard composition with rooster and pecking hen : standing rooster (H42cm) + pecking hen (H27cm) + sitting hen (H12-20cm) = a backyard scene with three postures and three very complementary heights — the rooster that watches, the hen that searches for food, the other that rests.

Q: Which size to choose among the three?

It all depends on the space and the viewing distance. The Small (H12cm, 380g) is designed for constrained spaces: plant pot, narrow ledge, interior or balcony composition. The Medium (H20cm, 1kg) is versatile — terrace, spacious balcony, or garden, visible from 2-3 meters. The Large (H39cm, 4kg) is a true garden sculpture, visible from several meters and capable of standing out alone in an outdoor space. The three together in the same garden create a perspective and a composition at three very natural scales.

Q: What is the difference between this sitting hen and the pecking hen in the catalog?

The posture, mainly. The pecking hen (20x13xH27cm, 800g) is in motion — head tilted towards the ground, active posture of searching for food — a single size, available in 4 colors. The sitting hen is at rest — compact and rounded body, brooding or relaxing posture — available in 3 sizes and 4 colors. The pecking one is more dynamic and more of a trompe-l'œil in the grass; the sitting one is more sculptural and more versatile in composition. The two together in the same space are very complementary.

Q: Can these hens stay outside all year round?

Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the feather tones and the red of the comb. The Large (4kg) is particularly stable in exposed outdoor conditions. The Small (380g) may be slightly sensitive to very strong winds on a highly exposed ledge — prefer a slightly sheltered location.

Q: Can you mix several colors in the same composition?

Yes — and it is even the most natural composition. A real backyard never has chickens of just one color: mixing black, white, brown, and yellow in the same space creates a lively and credible backyard scene. The same color in three different sizes creates a cleaner and more graphic composition.

Q: Is this a good gift for someone who loves the backyard and rural life?

Very good choice for this profile — and the range of sizes offers real flexibility according to the budget. The Small is a delicate and accessible impulse gift; the Large is a signature gift for someone who has a garden and loves it. The color is chosen according to the recipient's preferences or the colors of their garden.
