chicken heads

Can the pups eat chicken heads, feathers and all?

Not really sure Lisa ... I was reading something in a raw page this week about introducing feathers later (it mentioned something about the feathers possibly digging into the pups mouth) though I am not sure exactly what 'later' means!

Thanks Kell. Interesting I might just remove the feathers

Nooooo leave the feathers on! they are perfectly fine to eat as is fur! They also teach them to eat proper food and alot of dogs pluck them themselves which is good mental exercise for them

Ella!! I have just given them to them - feathers and all. Vinny didn't even flinch : two bites and it was down. Roxy sucked the brains out and played with it (which I'm not allowed to tell the OH about) > It was great to watch!!!

haha awesome! You should film it next time!!!!!

Definitely will do Tomorrow I am planning to spoil them: they're each getting a sheep's head Massive meal so that will be it for the day and I may fast them the day after.

I want photos and videos the boys love sheeps heads but they eat the lot in under 20 minutes

And videos you shall have Can't wait to see how these two react.

Can't wait for videos & pics

Feathers are half the fun! Lexi loves plucking chickens lol its not very fun to clean up though.

one head each or split? one head might be too much for one dog! lol

Aw, I kinda wish my two hadn't tucked in so heartily now - would've liked to see them pluck feather

Split - one head alone weighs 1.5kg

I give whole chickens often and they were still looking for food

Mine have become "impossible" looking for food even though they've just eaten. And what a terribly mummy I am for not giving in > Should've seen their faces the other morning cos I gave them a small breakfast since I'd a bigger dinner planned

haha the boys are a lot better now, especially since being fed once a day they very rarely look for food anymore which is nice

once a day does sound better. with Vinny being 7 months I'm not too keen to change him to once a day yet, so I'll keep them both on twice a day for a little longer.

Fed them some delicious lambs liver this week - Roxy refused point blank to eat it!! I think she is fussy with her textures

I put mine down to 1 meal from 9/10 months ish

Try feeding liver frozen alot of dogs don't like raw liver but it's essential they get it

Thanks for the tip!

Diesel is the same she won't eat fresh liver, it has to be frozen first then usually give it to her partially frozen, try in to let let it defrost more an more eat time to trick her into eat in it fresh
