Animatronic Brooding Hens

FrightProps showcases their Animatronic Brooding Hens, a ready-to-use prop featuring two chickens housed in a brooding box complete with bedding and fake eggs. Both hens move their heads in randomized patterns, while one of the two also flaps a wing for added lifelike motion. The self-contained nature of the set makes it an easy drop-in display for farm-themed haunts or Halloween scenes.
