novacova Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I’m sure ducks are farmed here, they get eaten every day here. Not all duck feathers are equal. I suppose the pekins are the most common in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbee2022 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm curious what you want them for? It's not the fine goose down feathers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing, given that Thais claim to be Buddhists, that they eat animals, birds and seafood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Buddhists are not the only Buddhists that eat everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrad Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 It's been explained to me that according to Buddha's teachings, one should not take a life. So, in some circles, the slaughtering is done by a non-Buddhist. As for eating, well, one individual told me that since the animal is dead, it might as well be eaten (or something to that affect).

bamboozled Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) I think you're much better off buying new pillows. They aren't that expensive, in the end. IKEA for one will have them. Might have to ship from BKK. Index might have them, etc... If you get from a farm, they're neither going to be sterile nor the soft feathers separated from the usable feathers. There are different grade feathers used for different price ranges. Feathers, not done right, can be very prickly and uncomfortable. They will poke through your pillow and be unpleasant.
