Default Pardo feathers

Does anyone have a cheaper source than Petijean? €11 for 12 feathers seems a bit steep.

Thanks

Richard

Vern-O,

I am a great fan of the Whiting products, including their CdL offerings, but when it comes to the traditional CdL tailing materials as come from the Leon region in Spain, this latter material is a much superior product compared to Whiting's and well worth the heftier price tag.

The Spanish CdL feathers are harvested from mature roosters, several years of age. The Whiting feathers (necks and tailing packs) are from much younger birds.

Cheers,
Hans W
