    Thank you gentlemen!!! Your video is awesome! You have done a tremendous amount of research! I was hoping to hear how I could just wash them and stuff them in a pillow. Oh well! Not going to raise geese just for their down, so retail it is. SO much feather info! FANTASTIC JOB GUYS!!! ALL THREE OF Y'ALL ROCK!!

    My Grandmother in the 1930's made a full sized comforter from chicken feathers. She cleaned and sanitized them somehow. The resulting comforter was very warm but it was super heavy, So it wasn't that great to use.

    So you say manor will help break them down faster in a compost? I wonder if dog poop would work trying to find another good way to use instead of just hosing it into the yard to fertilize the grass

    They make great compost might have to break them up a little bit run him through a shredder

    When it comes to chicken feathers, especially tail feathers, I would soak them in hot water to clean them and use them for millinery as decorations on hats.
