I've used grouse tail feathers.  They look really nice but they are fragile.  Don't use them for kid's arrows (I know from experience). ;D
I've used them whole and also with one side peeled off.  The beauty of delicate feathers is that you don't need to split the quill (unless you want to glue them down).  Just peel half of the feather off, flatten the front part of the quill, cut a bit of the veins off the back, and haft the ends to the shaft (leaving the middle "floating").

DanaM:
Postman a Pat is a grouse or partridge :)
