Steal over to your nearest farm and pluck 'em from a hen!

Perhaps your butcher might have some from game that he gets in?

Dont have feather pillows in the house.Makes me sneeze! Straight from the chicken doesnt sound very hygenic.Grin

When I did something similar with DS, I cut crepe paper in feather shapes & layered them on ie just stick one end down if you see what I mean !

That sounds good although i dont know if i can cut out feather shapes! Worth a try if no web sites are found.Thanks.

I bought some gorgeous ones from John Lewis. I think they were about £1 a pack.

Thanks auntyquated but not sure multi coloured would be right on a chicken.
