They are the feathers from a goose that has been molting, and they were used in the old days to make writing instruments. Centuries ago, people did not have ballpoint pens nor colored markers. The way to write was to create a pen by using the feathers of a large bird. Goose feathers were especially popular, and goose quill pens (which were then dipped into an ink well) were a very common writing instrument. I enclose a link to an article about how goose-quill pens were made and why people liked them.

What did little boys play in shakespeares time?

Along with the adult playing companies, groups of boys who were members of church choirs were also organized as playing companies. Of these, the most famous was the Boys of St. Paul's (cathedral). At about 1600, these groups became extremely popular, and played a number of the plays of Beaumont and Fletcher. Their scripts were often controversial, biting and satirical and they played to smaller, more exclusive and better paying crowds in theatres like the Blackfriars. Shakespeare makes note of the fad in Hamlet: "There is, sir, an eyrie of children, little eyasses, that cry out on the top of question and are most tyrannically clapped for it. These are now the fashion, and so berattle the common stages (so they call them) that many wearing rapiers are afraid of goosequills and dare scarce come thither."
