Zastanawiam się, jak przetłumaczyć na język angielski "darcie pierza": https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcie_pierza
Darcie pierza opisane jest bardzo przystepnie tutaj, od 0:43 do 2:19: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBBeqVY1Gfg
Tłumaczenie potrzebne jest do wiersza (fraza "darcie pierza" wystepuje w wierszu), więc im krotsze tłumaczenie tej frazy tym lepsze.
Dziekuję pięknie z góry za wszystkie propozycje.

This is another entry from the month of February from the diary of Marianna Malinowska Jasiecka in the years 1890-1914 compiled by Janina Fedorowicz and Joanna Konopinska. It describes the custom of women getting together during the long, cold (and often tedious) winter nights to strip feathers. The women got together at each other's homes to help each other strip the down off the quill of feathers obtained from ducks, geese and chickens in order to make pillows and comforters. Done alone, it was an onerous task. Done together it was a social event lightened with talk, music and food. These get-togethers lasted only until the beginning of Lent when all such social activities ended.

Dance was an inevitable, important element of communal work (corn husking, hoeing, spinning, etc.), and such work was undertaken in the first place with the prospect of the celebration that followed it. Smaller gatherings (spinning, pig-killing feasts, stripping of feathers, etc.) have rarely taken place without dancing, when one instrument or another (zither, bagpipe, violin, flute, etc.) provided the music.

plucking down feathers/(goose) down plucking
Down feather
The down of birds is a layer of fine feathers found under the tougher exterior feathers. Very young birds are clad only in down. Powder down is a specialized type of down found only in a few groups of birds. Down is a fine thermal insulator and padding, used in goods such as jackets, bedding (duvets and featherbeds), pillows and sleeping bags. The discovery of feathers trapped in ancient amber suggests that some species of dinosaur may have possessed down-like feathers.

What is Down Made Of?
What’s the difference between down and feather? Down and feathers come from the exact same place - either a goose or a duck. Feathers are a bird’s outer layer (wings & back) and down fibres are beneath the protective feather covering that is used for insulation. Down material lasts longer, is more expensive, and is softer. Feather material will not last as long, contains quills, and is less expensive. Feather and down blends don't last as long with some percentage of down added for support so they don't go flat.

To nie muszą być żywe gęsi, tylko gęsie pióra.

Reference:
skubanie gęsi vs. darcie pierza
Usuwanie (wyrywanie) niektórych piór z żywych gęsi = skubanie/podskubywanie.
Usuwanie całego upierzenia z martwych gęsi do celów kulinarnych = odzieranie z pierza.
Darcie pierza (wyskubki, wydzirki, pierzajki, szkubki) – oddzieranie z gęsich (czasami innych) piór chorągiewek od twardych stosin oraz oddzielanie puchu.

BTW:
Dobra polityka podatkowa powinna przypominać skubanie gęsi: dawać dużo pierza, mało krzyku
(Jean Baptiste Colbert, 1619–1683, legendarny minister finansów Francji).
