I think the option to fletch your stone and bone arrows with chicken feathers would be a useful addition. It could increase the IEMM of the arrows, or decrease the aiming time of the bow, I'm not too sure which would be better.
Anybody who's ever tried firing an unfletched arrow at any sort of distance with anything resembling accuracy would know that it's very difficult- an arrow with fletching makes a world of difference. To be reasonable as far as materials go, so that you don't have to kill a chicken just to end up with one fletched arrow, I think a feather and string of any type could suffice for one.
Seeing as chicken feathers and string are easily obtainable, this addition to the game could give relatively new players access to the greater hunting prowess offered by bows, without need for too high of a marksmanship score. It could help give aspiring archers a chance to take down bigger prey earlier and easier, along with adding an extra tier to the archery combat system.

Re: Fletching Arrows with Chicken Feathers
I'm no master arrow maker but chicken have the wrong feather type. I do believe that's why they are not needed on arrows in game.

Re: Fletching Arrows with Chicken Feathers
You can fletch arrows with any bird's feathers as long as you get some of the right size. Some birds work better than others, though, and arrows are already fletched. Really, if you want to get nitty-gritty, anything other than synthetic fiber is the "wrong type".

Re: Fletching Arrows with Chicken Feathers
Dafuq? I never noticed how the arrows are already fletched. But still, seeing as we really only have chickens for feathers... unless you want to use like linen for it (Never will happen.), then wouldn't chicken feathers make sense? Well... that is, if the arrows weren't already fletched.

Re: Fletching Arrows with Chicken Feathers
Chickens do need a more advanced use. +1
Should be optional though.
