OK... This is often asked as a joke. You got to pay attention to the question to answer correctly. In both cases we are talking of a pound, so the answer is "they weigh the same: a pound!". Many people will answer incorrectly and answer lead because they know that one feather or two are light and a piece of lead is heavy. But the clue is in the words "a pound of" in this case.
