Does anyone want to buy some Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock cockerals for fly tying? I always have extra boys. - We're in Georgia.

Last photo shows feather length around 8 months of age. The first two are slightly over a year old.

Might be a silly question, but are these the same chickens that hair dressers use for putting feathers in peoples hair? My brother's GF is a hair dresser and said that people pay like $20 a feather. I was just wondering

 

[moodlymoo]

Yes they are and a lot of fly ties are getting mad because people are driving up the cost of said feathers

I have several young pairs avaible if anyone is interested
