How many feathers did you have total?

I personally picked the figs and for a gallon I gave her 6 eye feathers in Bronze, purple and white, 4 of the very long butterfly(?) tipped feathers and 2 sword feathers. I sell my feathers for $5 each on eye feathers in VGC and on down in price depending on condition and color. Most folks do not care for the Bronze but when I put them with a back ground and mix in some whites they are more outstanding so I try to display them attractively. I am not very artsy though.

They got this many eyes

more than a hundred eyes for sure.

Well, my boys butts are about nekked!

Jack blew his out in about 4 days. Really pretty feathers. I am taking a handful over to a friend's house and trade her some feathers for a few gallons of figs. Yum!


I advertise some for sale or have some sitting in a jar when people come to the farm and they will ask about them and I tell them they are for sale.

If I see something I want from someone I ask if they would like to barter and I also go to swaps or poultry sales locally (not auctions) and take some.

I like that idea of trading. I posted mine on Craigslist and someone wants to buy them. They are getting married and their theme is peacock. I never heard of that. I will try your idea about bartering. Everyone wants a peacock feather for FREE but no one wants to buy them. Go figure. :/


How many feathers do you have and how many are you trading for a few gallons of figs. That will give me an idea of where to start.


Good idea!

That sounds like a beautiful arrangement.

You're silly.

I will take my other feathers when I go up to the Flock Swap next month in the mountains above my home. Not sure I will sell many and may have a dickens of a time trying to set them up high enough to keep kids' hands off of them.
I have never counted how many I have so I wasn't sure what to ask for a bundle. That would be nice!

That is pretty darn cool! Bought almost a whole bird without the eating and pooping part!
