"Hønene mates" (English: "Feeding the Hens") is an oil on canvas painting by the Norwegian artist Niels Gustav Wentzel (1859–1895). Created in 1888, this work exemplifies Wentzel's skill in capturing rural life and his attention to the interplay of light and color. The painting depicts a serene moment in a farmyard where a woman is seen feeding hens, a common theme that reflects the 19th-century cultural interest in peasant life and the naturalistic portrayal of everyday activities.

Wentzel, associated with the Fleskum colony—a group of artists who gathered at the farm of painter Christian Skredsvig in the summer of 1886—was part of a movement that sought to bring a fresh, plein air sensibility to Norwegian painting. "Hønene mates" is considered an important work in Wentzel's oeuvre as it showcases his transition from the academic traditions of his education to a more impressionistic style, characterized by loose brushwork and a brighter palette.

The painting is significant in the context of Norwegian art history for its representation of national identity through rural life and the simplicity of the country's landscape. "Hønene mates" has been exhibited in various art galleries and has been part of the collections of notable museums in Norway, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic developments of the period.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "Hønene mates" remains a valued piece within Norwegian art circles, reflecting the enduring appeal of Wentzel's work and the broader 19th-century Nordic art movement. The painting continues to be studied for its artistic merits and as a document of the era's social and cultural milieu.
