Hi everyone!

Hello everyone!

My name is Dyna and I'm new here

I don't have any chickens right now (or any other pets for that matter) but I hope I will one day when my life is more stable.

I joined now because I'm looking for humane sources of chicken feathers for a costume. I don't want to support the factory farming industry or cruelty to animals

Glad you have joined us.

The best time to get loads of feathers is late summer to fall during molts. Even a small flock drops buckets of them.

Thanks everyone for the lovely welcome!

I'll definitely see if any locals can hold on to the feathers when their chickens molt.
