Has anyone kept the feathers after butchering to use in pillows? If so how did you do it.

Thank you, I won't keep them when it is time to chop chop.

Do you make your own pillows then? And is Alee right on her guess as to the stink and non stink?

Maybe not pillows but you can use them for lures for fishing.

The "Saddle" (the long thin feathers just in front of the roosters tail) and neck feathers are ususally what is used for "Fly tying." I don't think any of the other feathers will work. But, you could always find out! ~~~ Tracy
