These Grouse (Prairie Chicken) feathers are not from my own flock, but from a nearby farmer who was raising them for his own table in a loving and humane way. Grouse have a variety of really different looking feathers all over their bodies, and these are the back feathers that sport a small light spot at the top of the feather, called an eye. I call them Spotted, which isn't very technical but it works. They are SMALL, up to an inch long, narrow and thin. The ends are kind of spiky feathery, slightly stiff, and the feather base is fuzzy. Clean and gorgeous.
