Badger Rooster Saddle Feathers Strung - 2" strip of 4-6" Rooster Feathers - Natural Strung rooster badger saddle feathers are approximately 2 inches long strips that are strung (sewn) together near the tip of each quill. Rooster saddle (back) feathers are long and narrow, with a sharp pointed tip (between 1/4-1/2 inch wide). The length of feathers ranges between 4-6 inches. Saddles tend to have a natural sheen and are fluffy, soft, flexible feathers. Rooster badger saddles are naturally creamy ivory in color with a black stripe down the center of the quill. This is cut from a longer strip, so some feathers may be loose. Feathers are natural and can vary in shape, size, and color.
