With the recent update and zombies no longer dropping feathers, the only source of feathers is chickens. With the zombie update, farm animals are spawning less, so the only renewable source of chickens is eggs, and, from my tests, it is about 12 eggs to 1 chicken. Chickens take about 5 minutes to lay an egg, so in the end it leaves 1 hour of waiting for a chicken to lay an egg = 1 more chicken = 1 or 2 more feathers. 1 feather only makes 4 arrows, so making arrows is no longer practical. Chickens should drop more feathers than they do know, maybe around 5, which would make 20 arrows.
TLDR: Feathers are hard to get now and we should get more per chicken.
If I got any numbers wrong please let me know, and please leave feedback.
Honestly, before it was just too easy to get feathers. Everyday I woke up I picked up feathers from dead zombies that burned alive. If you need arrows so bad, do the same thing with skeletons, wait from them to burn alive in daytime and profit. If not, get some chicken farms, if your farm is big enough, getting food and feathers will be easy.
^That. My girlfriend made a chicken farm, only took her about four minecraft days to really get going, and now she's drowning in chickens. It's easy. Just keep the chickens that you get out of eggs in a fenced yard. Collect their eggs, throw them back in. Rinse and repeat until you have enough to get eight or so eggs every time you go into the yard. THEN, start killing the chickens that hatch.
