Angie Stark Webboard User Reg: 07-24-2009 Posts: 167 Loc: Chicago, IL Offline	I have a place I get chicken heads from. My dogs loves them. I've been feeding them as organ because I figured brain and eyes but a friend of mine says she doesn't think there's enough brain and eyes for it to count and she'd think it was rmb....so it got me wondering and I thought Id ask you all.

If you are feeding other organs, and a variety of meat and bones, it should be fine for you to throw in a couple heads whenever you want.

Michael_Wise Webboard User Reg: 07-10-2006 Posts: 4454 Loc: Arkansas Offline	You wouldn't feed a chicken back in place of organs even though there is some liver and kidneys still attached. You'd take those into account, but also make sure to feed the remaining organ requirement throughout the day/week/month/year. How many heads are you feeding a week? The organ amount in them is so small that you could probably get away without counting it. Feed your regular amount of organ meat and feel good knowing that your dogs are getting some brains and eyeballs in their diet. Any amount is more than a lot of raw feeders can get a hold of.

If that is the case, then by all means, crack some heads open and figure out the average eyeball and brain weight of your chicken heads. Not necessary, IMO. I don't even take into account the organs stuck to backs or quarters.

Betty Landercasp Webboard User Reg: 11-30-2009 Posts: 3724 Loc: minnesota Offline	I have ordered the RMB books, but they aren't here yet. I have an 11 wk old puppy and a freezer full of beef. Also old chicken and turkey. Started feeding him meat 3 days ago. Big improvement in temperament VS. Puppy Chow, big improvement in # of stools. Can someone give me an idea how much to feed him? I'd say he weighs about 10 lbs, he's supposed to be about 20-25 at maturity, but he looks like he's going to be bigger than that to me. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

You don't want your "How Much to Feed?" thread tacked onto the "Amazing Chicken-Head Diet" thread. Just go here: http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/12 Click on "new topic" (in blue - upper left) and put your own title in the new message box you will get. Thanks! eta When you do post the question, let us know how much bone and what kind of bone you're feeding. You probably know, but just in case, the meat-to-digestible-bone ratio is THE critical ratio in raw feeding. For puppies, it's several times more critical, because of the calcium they need to lay down skeletal mass and form teeth. And congratulations on switching from Purina to raw!
