I seem to recall you saying the exact same thing several years ago when I also said we needed more uses for feathers.

This meal is produced by a method that involves the processing of high pressure steam that is identical to autoclave that is later put into the drying process. Feathers are hydrolyzed by the help of steam and heat into a high protein and cysteine-rich product that is estimated to be 60% digestible.This chicken feather meal is used for fertilization and animal feed.
mabye if boiled can be made into feed and if farther processed can be made into paper? (feathers make a great paper apparently)
also definetly should be compostable
