Uses for chook feathers?

Hi, thanks for a great website. I was looking for information regarding "butchering" a rooster and found your site. This was of great help. I have never killed a chook before but now have the experience! Sad but true! As I am interested in organic/bio-dynamic gardening I was wondering if the feathers etc from plucked chooks can be used to any advantage?

fly fishermen like using the cock capes/ the part behind the head down to the back . peel it clear carefully and dry it on newspaper .dont crush the feathers .worth about 50p to £10 depending on which birds u have and who wants them
