Feather length in ducks

[Kiwibird]

I use feathers in crafts. I am particularly interested in the body feathers, as they have fine and flexible quills, unlike wing feathers. Which of your duck breeds have the longest body feathers? Are they only long on the flanks, or over much of the duck?

Are you using real feathers?

 

[Kiwibird]

Yes, off real birds.

That's a good length! Silver Appleyards are pretty, too. Thanks, @Jpat.
