Jim-
You might try freezing it for a few days, then leave
it out for a couple of days and then freeze it again
for a few days. Repeat this cycle a couple of times.
The thawing and warming allows unhatched eggs to hatch
and then you kill the hatched varmints when you
refreeze the feathers. You can also try microwaving
it. I've never done it, but I know some of the other
list members do it and can fill you in on how.
Good luck & Happy New Year.

The River-
You passers-by, who share my journey,
You move and change,I move and am the same;
You move and are gone, I move and remain.
