Hello. New here, and to fly tying, so i have many Qs.
Well, I had this plain domestic chicken cock of beautiful colours, and I killed him and skinned him. I want to preserve as much as I can. On the but section there are feathers similar to CDC feathers. I know they do not float the same as CDC, and that they get soaked really fast, but has anyone used them at least as dubbing for wets, or something like that. Are they good for anything at all, or am I just wasting time and hopes, or will just have to find out by myself through experimenting? Write about feathers from other regions of domestic chickens too - what do YOU use them for. Thanks in advance. Gecko.
