I buy mine here:

JS Fly Fishing: Rod Building, Fly Tying: Hareline Turkey Biot Quills

For smaller flies, 14 and below, I prefer to use goose biots.

if you have dye i could send you some of the Canadian goose feather (PRIMARY) that i was sent by a very kind forum member ,but as said u would need to dye them ,which would allow you to dictate color .

but for the price you can get them i would probably go for the ones from the shop too.

I have tried a few varieties including the Hareline ones.
Orvis to me so far are by far the best.

I can second that Buzz, the orvis turkey biots are excellent.

You are probably already sorted by the looks of it, but Pat at Flytek has some excellent ones:

FlyTek Fly Fishing Feathers

thanks for the suggestions guys, I too like the orvis ones but only being in edinburgh everyfortnight means I'm a little far away from the orvis shops...

thanks for the offer urban, but I know as much about dying as I do the flamenco
