The Mojo Hen Pecking figure is a strikingly realistic representation of a domestic hen caught in the act of foraging. The figure depicts the hen with its head lowered and beak reaching for the ground, perfectly capturing the characteristic pecking motion that hens use to search for food.
The coloration is true-to-life, featuring a blend of earthy browns, creamy whites, and subtle black markings that highlight the typical pattern of many hen breeds. The comb and wattles are vividly rendered in a bright red, adding a splash of color that stands out against the more subdued body colors. The eyes are small but sharp, reflecting the hen’s keen awareness of its surroundings.
The Mojo Hen - Pecking figure measures 2" long by 2" tall.
Chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, valued for their eggs, meat, and, in some cultures, as pets or for ornamental purposes. The domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is descended from the wild red junglefowl of Southeast Asia and has been selectively bred over thousands of years to enhance certain traits such as size, egg production, and feather patterns.
Hens, the female chickens, are particularly noted for their role in laying eggs. They typically start laying eggs at around 5 to 6 months of age and can continue to do so for several years, although egg production declines with age. A hen's diet primarily consists of grains, seeds, insects, and various greens, which they forage for actively throughout the day. This foraging behavior is reflected in their constant alertness and readiness to peck at the ground, a behavior well captured in the standing pose of the Mojo figure.
