okay i did end up buying my tying stuff and i ordered a value pack hackle but i was wondering what the difference is between saddle hackle that you buy and just buying a chicken and eating it and using the saddle from that i read an article on flyfisherman.com about genetics and everything but i just was thinking for wooly buggers.i talked to my buddies and i have like 7 buddies who would sell me 10 chickens for the price of one bronze whitting saddle. lol
