We recently ordered 10 free-range organically fed chickens from a local producer (for my husband and myself) for delivery in July -- thought it would be a great opportunity to get some organs and maybe other parts that are hard to get around here, (and that the producer would probably otherwise discard) for raw feeding. What should I ask for besides the livers? Thought the feet might be good occasional snacking for Lenney... but what about chicken heads? I thought maybe the brains (small though I imagine they are!) might provide some nutrients that are hard to come by? Do stomachs and hearts both just count as muscle meat? Thanks!

I doubt if the producer would be throwing away organic chicken livers.
Gizzard, and heart are the edible organs in a chicken and they are both considered muscle meat. There are also some tiny kidneys in there, but they usually are stuck to the backbone and aren't separated from the carcass.
BTW--if you're going to cut up the chickens for yourself, the back portions would be better dog food than human food.
Feet and neck would also be potential leftover parts.
If you do happen to get chicken heads, I'd probably remove the beak before feeding it to the dog. (and realize they will still likey be feathered, which would be more mess than I'd want to deal with.)
