If you want small hen feathers, try the Conranch JV hen skins. I use them for my wing feathers and soft hackles.
The skin comes with the neck and saddle.

I'm pretty sure the wingers are hen necks. The winger patches tend to be a
little smaller. I use the Whiting hen necks also. I just look for ones
that have a lot of the smaller feathers. I'm not sure if Whiting is going
to carry "wingers" or not. I haven't actually seen them packaged that way
yet.
Good question for Byard since Don O is off to California now. I know John
Snively (Whiting Variant Rep) wasn't sure if he was going to get anymore in
at the last show either.

I'm not sure what you mean by "winger". Is it a product you heard about? I use hen neck hackle for patterns that call for traditional wings.

Can someone explain to me about winger for dry flies. Are they saddle hackle that you should be able to buy from any fly shop? Or are they something unique that a person runs across once in a while.
