[Cob] Design Concept

Oops,,,  Before the Chicken Plucking beguins,, beware
of the Diseases that come from birds. 
Years ago, my Uncle and his family almost died from
a sick parrot...
Also Mites, lice, and othere bugs live on birds...
A school friend of mine almost died from the dusting
that he was doing in a chicken barn...

We have lots of processing chicken processing plants around here.

It would seem a more likely use for the chicken feathers would be
insulation. Perhaps in the roof of a cob house?

Apparently, the disposal of chicken feathers is an issue. they are
looking for ways to use them. in plastics, in cement, etc. If I had a
source.. I might put them in layers of old PE bags and feathers. heat
them up and get a light weight panel.You can fuse old garbage bags
together  to make tarps. you use aluminum foil and a clothing iron. you
peel the foil off when you are done.
