It's the primary or secondary flight feather from a turkey. Owl feathers have very soft edges, whereas the turkey feather is deeply curved and is very strong. Also, if you purchased this dreamcatcher or know of someone who is selling it, it is VERY illegal to use any feathers from wild birds. All wild birds (with the exception of some introduced and game species) are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and trade of any bird part, including feathers, is strictly prohibited by the Lacey Act.

The other feathers look like Guinea Fowl and Ring-necked Pheasant feathers, all very common domestic fowl.
