Hey Everyone, I had done a few searched on the internet regarding silkie feathers etc.. . We raise our own rabbits and exotic chickens for meat and as a hobby. I noticed some posts regarding silkie neck skin and feathers. We slaughter or own animals and save a few of the feathers . My wife has figured someone could use them for arts/crafts stuff. Is there a property of a feather that is preferred for tying flies ? Thanks Gerald Austin Iuka MS.
