Hello,

>From a farmer's perspective, chicken feathers are very valuable as feather
meal is made from them and can be used as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer,
either in potting soil or as a direct soil amendment. Also unprocessed
feathers can be used as a compost feedstock resulting in a very valuable
end-product (nitrogen-rich compost).
