    Where can I buy mallard breast feathers? The popular flank feathers are too large for my use as cheeks on smaller streamers.
    Thanks.

    Ray;
    There is a guy on E-Bay toppsfeathers I think who has some fantastic duck feathers. What is available changes , but it is very nice stuff. Good prices, even to NS where I am.

    Ray - I would suggest you look into flank feathers from a teal. They look like the ones off a mallard but are smaller. I have used them for years in lieu of mallard. Since I have about quit hunting my supply has dwindled to just a few or I would send you some. If you do a Google or Ebay you will find teal for sale.

    Ray,

    Already went out; guess it'll come back to me in a couple days. One way or another, they will get there though.

    Ray,

    That's great news and tip of the hat to your post office. Mailed 2 textbooks to my daughter in TN and they both were kicked back because we forgot to put the West prefix on her street name, even though it's a fairly small town, and there's no other street with that name (word is the carrier on that route is a PITA).
    Anyway, hope the feathers work for you.

    Regards,
    Scott
