[Wanted] Feathers

[HomesteaderWife]

So this may be a long shot but I am looking to pick up some feathers here and there from folks.

I enjoy making dreamcatchers with them and using the feathers also to hang from walking sticks, and have been using wild turkey feathers for years up until a naughty rat got into the whole bag and made a nest of them. We've got a few hens, but they didn't really drop any suitable feathers and I've used what I did collect.

So I'm looking to gather feathers in all shapes/colors/sizes if possible. If anyone is willing to help with a few, I've got some crafts or seed I am willing to barter for them. Again, it may be a long shot but I'm really hoping to gather a few up and more than happy to send photos of the cool things they've made!

Thanks so much,
-H.W.

I'll keep an eye out for the goose flight feathers next time they molt!

Thanks so much @DiYMama540 - that would be a great help!

I'll definitely keep an eye out for feathers dropped by my chickens and ducks. Do you want all sizes or just the larger ones?

 

[HomesteaderWife]

Thank you @Momplus1 so much! Any size is appreciated- with dreamcatchers I usually like to put two smaller ones on either side and a large at the bottom. And the walking sticks I use long ones on as well.

Definitely appreciate any help- needless to say I have storage in place to prevent feathers from getting nabbed again!

I always find awesome feathers laying about. Wish I'd known, I would have collected some guinea feathers from the one killed by the owl earlier this week! Dadgumit!

I have a lot that I collected when my girls melted, most are in good shape. You can have them if you want them... just PM me. A trade would be a good idea

I'm a seed junky, and would happily make a trade with you. I have small and smaller exchequer feathers, white guinea feathers, and juvenile turkey tail feathers available. If you're interested in any send me a pm and we can have a chat.
