Feathers!

Post by p.penn »

My chickens have just started moulting and I have feathers everywhere! Other than native north american headresses or quill pens - any ideas for recycling them??? confused>

Do you have any pillows or cushions which could do with some more stuffing?

My mother swears by her feather mattress - and they're expensive to buy, so perhaps you should start saving up those feathers for when you're old and creaky and can relish in the delights of a feather mattress!
