Just to let you know that Brontie is having her first ever chicken wing as I type, and absolutely loving it. Thanks Kendal and Wilfiboy for the tip off. We would never have thought of doing this when she is so small but what a success! Have frozen the second one for tomorrow, makes a change from her Kong and it has kept her going for much longer this lunchtime!

Hi Andrea, just to reassure you, we've watched Brontie carefully and I can report you there were absolutely no adverse affects from her raw chicken wing. Lol, even stools better! Bought some lambs liver too, but haven't given that yet - can anyone tell me if its ok to give, cooked, at 10 weeks old??

I know you can have liver raw James cant imagine it'll make much difference cooked but only my opinion . I just buy my chicken wings from supermarket then freeze them in smaller portions and then defrost everyday... they 're cheap enough . Jollys pet store sell them in 4kg bags along with chicken necks, different chunks, tripe, heart etc but not sure if they are national x

Picked up a packet of chicken wings then 'chickened out' and put them back. Don't you end up with uncooked chicken juice all over the floor? Keep thinking of that horrible ad where the raw pink chicken juice is all over the counter then the little kid picks up a red ice lolly that has been in it and licks it!! Now where is that antibacterial spray...

Hi Mandy. If you want to feed raw but prefer something more convenient, you could take a look at my supplier www.naturalinstinct.com who supply a complete raw diet ground up in frozen portions. The chicken and bone are in there with veg and fruit and supplements to give a balanced diet. Wilfiboy is about to try it too. They deliver to your door in insulated boxes. I just like the fact that I don't have to worry about adding things to balance the diet, but I'm going to start giving chicken wings etc as an occasional variation. I know what you mean about the mess though - they always seem to drag bones out of their dish to eat them somewhere special. We have a cream rug that Dylan has chosen as his bone place and no matter how many times I move them, they always end up back there 
When I used to feed chicken carcasses I would give them in the garden, but that's not very practical in winter.

No it's 65x with dettol... stand on one foot and count to 10.........
I'm a veggie and the thought of holding on to a raw chicken wing as Flo chomps isn't inviting, but hey for my Flo I'll have a go at anything. Watch this space. Not feeling at all bullied but I'm feelong a bit isolated as the UK lot all appear to live within meeting distance.
