I've seen hunks of hide with saddle feathers still attached for sale on eBay - this strips sent from China.

Well I know thats how most fly shops get their feathers. Ive seen them come in at the local shop. And Ive also seen wanted adds on craigslist, looking for the entire hide so the feathers are more intact... It really makes sence to me, but I wouldnt want to send the feathers that way if its going to freak someone out. lol Just trying to be polite.

I do my own, as I do both taxodermy and fly fish..and sell to other tie flyers, I can send pics tomorrow of hides, is that OK??
You just have to waite a few hours so I can SLEEP!@!! Like DH ain't gonna snore and keep me awake all night long AGAIN!!!!!!!

Goodnight!

Well my serama baby was sure getting snuggly and lovey. He/she (named Bumble) was quite comfortable. Would make for a nice house chicken pet.

Like this?????

BTW this baby still has a choclate face, a blue body, and now has very partridge wings.

Yep, just like that. Is that your house chicken.....

The baby I have is only 1 week old, Not much bigger than a walnut. It was snuggled under my shirt. it was making the cutest noises. I really don't think I want a house chicken though.

I've not seen it. I'm trying not to buy from countries where we have a huge trade imbalance with (eliminates Mexico and Canada as well). Sometimes it is impossible to avoid it, but I'm hoping that by trying my best to buy American we will keep more of our dollars in our country, support our citizens and hopefully improve our economy. I had not looked at it from a health point of view. Now I'm afraid to - Olivia and her friends had rooster feathers put in their hair on Sunday and they did not come from our yard.

I skin, stretch the hide skin side up on a styrofoam board, stretch with quilt pins, then salt & borax.
Ya'll didn't know the Chickielady took Taxodermy classes??????
Yup..and I have threatened to stuff the best parts of DH when he goes!

Think!
No more snoring!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmm....... I could have a permanent Puppy rug with this method.

I would like to know how. they sell the feathers for a lot of money. I don't know how soon I will be butchering...it really bothers DH...so I am going to have to do it all on my own. He used to hunt bambi....now he can't stand it. He has gotten really soft in his old age.

He needs a CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) machine. It is so much easier to sleep with. Now I only get perturbed when his mask leaks, but that noise doen't wake me after I get to sleep.

OK...FUNGUS? RING WORM?

My big book says 100% pure sesame oil applied on the rash will work. Repeat till gone.
Its also good for tummy fungus, like candida as well as scabies.
At least it smells nicer than bleach, which makes me sneeze & wheeze.

You can get the oil from safeway. Just don't buy the diluted mix. 100% pure is the way to go.
Added to food its yummy. Wonderful on chicken stock. Put that with ginger & soy sauce and you have a magic sauce for a chicken dinner. Just boil the chicken and pour the sauce over it.
YUM.
Serve on rice after you cook it with chicken stock and more sesame oil. LOL.

I will have look into the online fish forums. That is a very good idea. i do know that the windows here are made by Milguard. I have heard things all over the place about whether or not they good or bad. They made in Fife. I think that some of the windows were installed upside down. The sliding glass door maybe upside down also. I can't say that I have ever noticed any big change, except for the sky lights. But at least I can plug those with insulation.
