Depends on whether or not you remove the skin (which we all did when we introduced chicken to the diet). In chicken and turkey, the majority of the cholesterol is contained in the skin. In duck and rabbit, it is distributed more through the muscle, and cannot really be seperated out the way that the chicken/turkey skin can. A whole chicken, skin included is slightly higher in calories than a whole rabbit. Removing skin from chicken cuts the cholesterol almost in half. (Again, cholesterol isn't HARMFUL to dogs. But just as leaving the skin on too early can cause poo issues, the richness of rabbit and duck can too.)
