Real hackle feathers from my own beautiful Speckled Sussex rooster. These cleaned naturally molted feathers are a deep red brown color and very slender. Some molted feathers have a beautiful metallic blue in the center depending on how the light hits them. Loose hackle feathers are used in feather hair extensions, shorter feathers are often used in bangs and to add volume to both hair and earrings. They are also popular for handmade lures for fly fishing.


Details:

  • Qty: Approx. 20 assorted Speckled Sussex Rooster hackle feathers
  • Size: Approx. 4-4.5" inches / 10.16-11.43 centimeters

Do you know where your rooster feathers come from? When you buy from Running Bug Farm you do! My roosters are humanely raised. They live outside 365 days a year free ranging on pasture the way Mother Nature intended. I use natural holistic methods to treat my animals and my family. Running Bug Farm is better than organic. Your purchase supports my small Eco farm and I thank you!

I clean my birds feathers using filtered well water, Eco soap, vinegar and heat sterilization.

Feathers are hand packaged and labeled with my farms information, the type of bird, the quantity and the size.

I am not a feather reseller. I exclusively sell feathers only from my own humanely raised birds on my small Eco farm.

Feathers are from my smoking free home, although I do heat my home exclusively with a wood stove as I am almost entirely off of the grid and this is my only source of heat.

Size: L

Size Examples:
  • XXS (Teeny/Miniature): Any size less than 1" inch
  • XS (Tiny/Miniature): 1" - 1.49" inches
  • S (Small): 1.5" - 2.5" inches
  • M (Medium): 3" - 3.5" inches
  • L (Large): 4" - 4.5" inches
  • XL (Extra Long): 5" - 5.5" inches
  • XXL (Extra Extra Long): 6" inches or more

I have provided photos of feathers with a United States Standard ruler which is twelve inches long (12"). A standard United States silver quarter (25¢) is pictured with the ruler to further assist with scale. I have also provided photos of feathers in my hand for those who prefer not to use standard measurements.

If you are unsure of the size of feathers that you need, I strongly recommend getting a ruler, tape measure, dress makers tape, etc. and looking at the size/s you need in inches (rather than using the eyeball it in the hand method). First measure where you want to use the feathers and what your expectations are. When you see the approximate length, write it down and compare that length in inches to the feathers I have listed to help you find the size that's perfect for your needs.

Need help? Please contact me and I'll do my best to assist you.
