I am in need of a variety of feathers for my upcoming 4H meeting. My searches have only yielded goofy colored ones at craft stores or fancy ones mounted in glass cases from science suppliers. But I want the kids to examine with magnifying glasses, see the barbs, you know, really feel them.

Anyone have any idea where I can find some? And I know someone will think, just walk outside, but I'd love as big a variety as possible - down, contour, flight, different plumage etc.

Thanks for any help/advice!!!!

What about Frying Pan Park in Herndon, Kacky? They have ducks, chickens, and a peacock or two.
