Avian X AVXAVX8011 LCD Laydown Hen Turkey Species Multi Color Dura-Rubber

The Avian-X LCD Laydown Hen Turkey Decoy puts a breeding hen in front of your setup—and gobbler season turns chaotic fast. This multi-color dura-rubber decoy is molded in a relaxed, receptive posture that convinces dominant toms the competition is already closing in. Unlike standing decoys, the laydown position speaks to what a boss gobbler fears most: a hen ready to breed and a rival jake moving in. It's a proven confidence killer, and it works equally well as a mid-morning dusting hen when birds settle down and move less aggressively.

Built from durable PVC dura-rubber, this decoy keeps its voice down—no unnatural spin or rattle when wind hits it, just lifelike subtle movement that reads as real to a suspicious tom. The molded feather detail and multi-color finish reflect light the way actual hen plumage does, not like plastic. At 15% smaller than a live turkey, the Laydown Hen is easy to pack and pack out, and it collapses flat for transport and storage without eating up truck or pack space.

Pair it with the LCD Quarter-Strut Jake to establish dominance and jealousy in a tom's mind—two decoys working together create a scenario no self-respecting gobbler will walk away from. This decoy does exactly what it was built to do: stop a bird, calm him down, and draw him into range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Avian-X LCD Laydown Hen compared to a real turkey?

The decoy is molded 15% smaller than a live turkey, keeping it packable and realistic without the full bulk of a life-sized body.

Can I use this decoy alone, or do I need a jake decoy to make it work?

The Laydown Hen is effective on its own and will call and calm turkeys by itself. Pairing it with an LCD Quarter-Strut Jake creates an even more aggressive scene that triggers territorial and jealous responses, but it's not required.

How does the dura-rubber material affect how the decoy moves in the wind?

The PVC dura-rubber is engineered to eliminate unnatural spin and excessive rattle. It allows subtle, realistic movement that reads as a living bird rather than plastic or vinyl.

Is this decoy suitable for different times of day or season phases?

Yes. The breeding posture makes it especially effective during active gobbler season, and the laydown position also works well as a dusting hen during mid-morning setups when birds are less mobile.
