I spent my week end cutting wood and butchering chickens. so I thought I would show you some turken/nakedneck feathers as well as wild turkey feathers. I saved them back never know might just use them. Don't know if the oics will show what they look like. But the rooster tail feathers are auburn red black with a turquose green funning down the quill. I put up a pic of the chicken.

Like those rooster feathers... Looks like a big bird!
The older they get the bigger up to 6-9 lbs. average If you want some of those tail feathers I'll send you some in an evelope to play around with . It will be about a weak cause the hides are curing. would'nt want to send something stinky and have my ears burned off when your wife sniffed them out.

Keep you in mind when the hides cure out. You can get more than you think in a regular invelope. What most people don't know is put a bunch in a baggie and squish out the air. feathers go flat then when the bag is opened they poof back.
