I wouldn't collect feathers from the ground, they would be dirtier and it would take FOREVER to get enough.
Well, I wouldn't kill a duck so that is my only choice. I can wait and they aren't dirty at all. Besides, in two months I've got 3 large ziplocks full of dry clean fluffy feathers.

I'd get them into the diapering soon, they get big and indignant real fast and you certainly don't want to introduce the diaper at THAT point. Think teenager.

Where do u get the pillows from to make the feather pillows? Is that a stupid question?
Sew two pieces of fabric together. Then you can pic really great high TC fabric.

I'm collecting cast off feathers from my two boys. It might take forever but I am determined. I figure if you use a REALLY tight thread count fabric, feathers might make it crunchy but at least they wont stab ya.

I am going to make a super simple, lightweight duck tractor this weekend. My two Pekins need to get out more and I can't be stuck to the yard playing "scarehawk" with fear of running inside for a second. What do you think is a good size for two Pekins? I was thinking A-frame, 2 ft high by 4 ft...
My drakes do that if I surprise them in the pool. They fold up and then swim with the same weird neck thing. I heard it's a mating thing but it ONLY happens when I startle them. I have seen lots of videos where it IS a mating thing. Moral of the story... Ducks make very little sense, they were...
