Right now they're soaking in Dawn and borax, I shake them up every 15 minutes or so and then I'll rinse and dry them.

Doug those are very nice!!! It is a pleasure to work with good stock like those.

Nice Doug. Good looking flanks.

Got plenty to keep you tieing for a while.

They're all done - got 3 packed full gallon zip bags, one mallard flank, one gadwall, and one teal. Had some that I had to toss as they were messed up beyond repair but I got a lot even then. I'll add these to all the others I've received this year.

Somewhere there's a bald bird wondering why he's cold. Laughing!

Great at looking box of feathers. I wish I still raised chickens. I had some good looking Wyandottes at one time.

Nice and with the other packages you should be in duck feathers for a long time!

Yeah I have a bunch!!LOL

HMK - I actully did a trade for some of the Wyandotte feathers and they are nice!!!

Man just typed a post and it didn't take, Sheesh! Anyway here is main jest. I got a couple guys to bring me some duck feathers a couple years ago, I ended up with 2 5 gallon buckets full and lots of wood duck in the mix. Then I had bought a bunch of the packs too. Plus someone had a pound of mallard flank and had a decent price on that I bought. So way more than I will ever use. I have also hunted my entire life and don't think I ever shot a Wyandotte. So what the heck kind of feathers in that, LOL?

being a chicken most just cut their heads off!!LOL I'm at work so I'll just post a link I have the silver laced ones
