Many of you know about my chicken-nieces. Since we got the girls, backyard chicken people seem to be coming out the woodwork. One of them mentioned that they saved their chickens' feathers and sold them online to crafters. Two sisters think that's a great idea. After all, some of the girls have gorgeous feathers. Especially Mel, the Ameraucana; she's got hawk-colored feathers! Plus Silvie, the Blue Andalusian, is molting, giving us lots of pretty grey feathers.
Of course, in order to sell the feathers, we need to clean 'em up. Does anyone know how to sterilize chicken feathers, preferably while keeping their shape? We've googled the subject, and the results are a bit confusing.
Thanks!
