Ahhh, you guys are the best!!
I showed him the thread and he had to laugh. He said, “Well, I knew you weren’t going to be discussing this at work but I forgot about your dog trainers – they make some pretty good points – fine, go ahead then.” Yes!!
He shared some more information which shed a lot of light on why he was thinking the way he was… I knew this was out of character for him. He’s now in full agreement that the feathers aren’t an issue and from what I now know, they never were.
I’ll let the bird freeze for another day and on Wednesday the boys will taste their first pigeon, feathers and all.
I’ll never look at road kill the same again.
Thanks guys.

Good for your husband giving you the go-ahead on the pigeon!
My dogs eat quite a bit of road kill deer and scraps, they DO NOT chase, bark at, or molest the deer that walks through the yard or past the kennel.
I have fed chicken heads and feet to my Beagles. They eat beaks, feathers, leg scales and toe nails with no problems. If I give them a whole chicken they pull most of the feathers off before eating the carcass.
There is one raw food supplier who sells chicken feet and heads.

My dog loooooves chicken feet and heads. I can get them from a local raw supplier or can I get a big box of feet from the restaurant supply.

My dog's breeder has a deal with the local DNR that when there is road kill that isn't too masticated, they call her and her husband picks it up. He told me he can now field dress a deer in under 20 min. My Dozer loves venison but I'm not quite at the road kill stage. I know a few hunters and will be asking them for the carcasses when they finish pulling off all the meat they want.
I loved the story!!

And nobody moves or gets an interview until the deceased creature is safely loaded on the truck! 
Too funny Danielle!!
The feathers are safely with my girlfriend. She can't believe her good fortune and is really looking forward to training this weekend.
I've left the pigeon in the freezer. We decided that this would be a great Easter celebration for the boys. So their dinner has moved to Sunday. As an appetizer, I thought about plucking a few feathers and playing the hide and seek game. Kind of like an Easter Egg hunt with feathers.
One last question... silly me. I didn't gut this thing, just put the whole bird right in the freezer. Do I need to remove anything? This is gonna be messy isn't it? Butcher knife, WHACK, WHACK??

Mine will eat everything there is to eat, although I've been a "chicken" (no pun) and removed feet and heads - NO MORE - from now on, they get the whole ball of wax.
If it is going to be cut in half, yes, a bit messy, but you can do it. If you give it to one of the dogs to eat part of and then the other dog gets the rest, not so messy on your part.
You might find a good pair of kitchen shears helpful - I use those more than a knife when cutting up chickens.
Happy Easter puppers!!!!

Thank you Barbara, great information and you gave me an idea. This could be a great “Leave it” exercise.
I could spread some newspaper on the lawn, jump into a large orange garbage bag and proceed to snip or whack it into pieces. They will have to wait and watch as I prepare it (after the appies and all). I’m sure they’ll be tempted to help. Leave it…. Yes…..Feather, feather, feather.
It’s not terribly big and there are 3 of them. I think if one got a chance to nibble a bit he may gobble it down before the others get their share.

I have learned from cutting up chickens with my cleaver that they are best slightly frozen when I apply the cleaver (a very large, heavy one is best), as I do not end up wearing bits of chicken that way.
With frozen solid chickens I end up with lots of shaved chicken slices that fly off the block as I attempt to hack my way through it.
