Strung saddle hackle comes from a rooster. Marabuo featers are NOT saddle feathers. I am sorry I do not know what fowel they come from.
A:
Marabou feathers come from Turkeys. The real Marabou is from a Marabou Stork. Importation issues make the real thing very expensive if not impossible to obtain.
