ELI5 Why do so many ppl treat chickens expendable??

Usually people don't spin straight dog fur unless it's a breed that actually has a soft undercoat. Typically you put wool with it for strength and softness

All I know is, it’s the incredibly itchy.
I would love love love to make my own yarn! Alpaca yarn! Although my coonhound has the SOFTEST fur..

Wouldn't really call that hair like though, they're slim, but that seems to be a common feature with long feathered chickens. The plumage looks very similar to that of my Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock Rooster I used to have, but had to put down. I'm keeping his pelt, once I can get the chance to skin him.
View attachment 3935742View attachment 3935746My black Sumatra roosters I used to have, had thin hackle, & saddle feathers just like the rooster you pictured, but none of the pictures I have aren't the best quality due to being from my older phone.

Those feathers are wider than the one Rose's posted

Depends how clean you mean. My phoenix have bits of VM in theirs, but except when they run through a fresh poop puddle, they're clean

Just Chicken clean.
My Cochin has extremely long feathers so his feet, after it rains, I have to wash his feet. I’m worried the mud will become matted and cause pain or something me kind of injury.

Last I checked, coonhounds didn't have a wooly undercoat

I never wash my feathered foot birds when it's muddy. They clean them just fine theirself

When is the last time you checked?

When is the last time you checked?

When I looked at them at the AKC website a few months ago. It calls for a short, sleek coat
