Title: Full length feathers
Post by: magnus on November 26, 2010, 09:27:00 AM
Where is the best place for cost and quality for full length feathers? I know about the big sponsors here just wondering if there is a better choice. Thanks in advance!

Magnus I have looked all over. If you are sticking to good feathers like True Flight there is not a lot of diffrence in price. At least that is what I have found. Helps if you buy in 100 pk.

Try to find a Turkey Farm or Taxidermist. Crap, I let out my secret...

Usually taxidermists will do a tail mount and throw out the rest.  Sure it requires a little extra effort but the price is right.  

StringStretcher was grinding feathers at a reasonable price or a trade, i'm not sure if he is aking on work at the moment but I'm sure you could find someone else with a similar set up.

Good Luck

I can and do grind my own. Dye them too. I've just been reading about the low quality on full lengths anymore and wondered if there is a better way. If I could find a domestic turkey farm I'd be in heaven. Don't get many feathers from my neighbors two birds. Thanks for the replies.
