Uses for Feathers??

[MamaDragon]

Greetings All!

With all these chickens moulting feathers everywhere..... Anyone got some uses for them?

I know about feather pillows and down comforters, but that's the limit to my knowledge. I KNOW my grandma would of had something she could do with them, but she's long gone.

Can't feed them back to the chickens, don't have a compost pile this year, so those are out.

Thanks,

Kathy

i tie fishing flies with our feathers. Mix in several different breeds of feathers for fanstastic color and variety that a fish just can't stand not trying. It's fun too!!!

How in the world do you make a vest out of chicken feathers??

with a little tar, and a lot of feathers.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
