ellir0305 9 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I've got a young springer pup about 3 months old on raw food, seems to handle chicken wings easily. Got a load of meat birds to process in a month so will have all the heads and feet are these any good and do they need any prep like chopping or beaks/claws removed? many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There will be loads of other nutrients, fats, minerals like calcium and it will keep the pup occupied with a bit of a chew. Heads especially. I feed my dogs lots of Trout heads, usually about once a week, mainly to dispose of them and they have a fair bit going on regarding nutrients. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lloyd90 509 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 I give chicken or duck feet as a quick chew and adds a bit of bone I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Whip 3,822 Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Don't need to remove claws or beaks, mine will eat chicken heads but none of them will eat the feet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,352 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I have given chicken feet in the past when in the mountains, as a little treat. Tbh, I'd rather give him trotters, theres more to them for the weight and the dickhead defo prefers them lol Give him his feed and after, a trotter to settle down with.
