Only plans I have, are to relax during the weekend.

Same here! I need my weekends to relax and when I have something going on over the weekend I just feel tired all the next week

Hoping to get a sorting box for my feathers. I have to get them all sterilized and nice looking before I can see if the hair dressers would be interested in buying them for their shop

Seems a good use for them tbf, it breaks my heart where pillow/craft feathers often come from, would rather they came from well kept birds like your own.
I admittedly have a box of feathers from my girls, all the ones that were shed and stayed clean!
I sound like a crazy person but I'm sure they'll be handy some day and I like keeping them

Admittedly most of mine come from birds that are processed. That isn't the sole reason for their ending though, unile with most fly tie feathers

Okay, just wanted to make it clear in case there was a miss understanding.

I have a dlfew bags that came from birds I lost that were important and are staying with me (Like Samwell and Dwight), but most are from my extra roosters. Stunning feathers though, especially the barred cochin ones.

Also getting some stickers this weekend. Almost got a wet specimen I really liked, just iffy about it shipping from Texas in this weather so I'm gonna pass on it.

I bet they are
I think white feathers are pretty, but I'd love to have more kinds in my little collection.
I do hope to have chickens sometime in the future, I have my eye on a few really pretty breeds. So maybe I'll get a chance to steal a few feathers that they drop

Highly recommend Cornish bantams. Honestly probably even beat my pheonixes (barely though) in terms of favorite breed

Oh they are super pretty birds, will definitely look into them when the time comes

Debating getting muscovies. I really, really want to. They're something I can work on in my flock, and theoretically could take them with me when I move. Just.... haven't decided yet
