Title: New food Post by: Fixitlouie on July 16, 2013, 07:47:46 am So a friend of mine turned me on to this and it sounds darn good. CHICKEN BACKS...... You can pick up a case of 40 for less than 20 bucks best part is the poop doesnt stink AND is verry small AND will dry out in less than a day . Raw dog food is best I here...will keep yall posted
from me.....who else. tapatalk Title: Re: New food Post by: halfbreed on July 16, 2013, 08:40:00 am chicken backs are good eatin my favorite part when fried . to heck with the dogs lol
Title: Re: New food Post by: charles on July 16, 2013, 08:54:06 am How much does a case of 40 weigh w/o the box, just meat n bones?
Title: Re: New food Post by: halfbreed on July 16, 2013, 09:06:27 am they don't weigh much Charles they got them for 50 cents a back .. heck a whole leg quarter is less than a dollar and a whole lot more meat . maybe that's a 40# box it would have to be for me to buy it .
Title: Re: New food Post by: charles on July 16, 2013, 06:30:20 pm Thanks mr whitten. For that price, i think i'll stick to regular dog food or like u said, buy whole leg quarters n give 1 quarter n a lil dog food per dog
Title: Re: New food Post by: Reuben on July 16, 2013, 07:07:52 pm sometimes the leg quarters are about the same cost as dog food...or close to it...
but like Halfbeed said...the backs are some of the best eating on a chicken...so is the gizzard, neck, wing...and when I lived on the farm we cut the claws off and scaled the feet and they were tasty... :D ;D Title: Re: New food Post by: cantexduck on July 17, 2013, 06:11:04 am That is high. Should be around 30 cents a pound. Feeding just backs will not work. Not enough meat.
Title: Re: New food Post by: INABs on July 17, 2013, 12:44:29 pm I use to do backs for my dogs when I lived up in ft worth. Great suppliment with regular feed especially in Winter. I do more quarters now couple of times a week in the winter for the workers. Can get em fairly cheap at Kroger or Wal-mart. Use to get my backs straight from the packing house.
Title: Re: Re: New food Post by: Fixitlouie on July 17, 2013, 03:03:22 pm Where are yall getting these prices. Nonthing I found is under a buck a lb.......i do live in the burbs, maby thats the problem
from me.....who else. tapatalk Title: Re: New food Post by: halfbreed on July 17, 2013, 03:28:46 pm well at the moment loui the 10# bag of leg quarters are only 7.38 which is way up from the 3.39 3 years ago lol and depending on the size there are usually around 8 or 9 sometimes 10 legs to a bag . so you can get 20# of meaty chicken for 15 bucks vs a boney old back . the chicken is at wally wood in the meat dept. and everybody in America lives 10 minutes from a Wal-Mart lol
Title: Re: New food Post by: txdogos on July 17, 2013, 03:45:09 pm Walmart, 59cents a lb. Leg quarters
Title: Re: New food Post by: halfbreed on July 17, 2013, 05:19:06 pm man I wish they were still 59 cents a pound here they went up to 73.8 cents . if you are still at 59 I would buy about a hundred pounds lol .
Title: Re: New food Post by: Reuben on July 17, 2013, 07:09:26 pm 30 bucks for 50 pounds of chicken quarters is not a bad price...it is comparable to a high quality dog food...I have fed this a few times but not worth the hassle to me...dogs love the chicken way better than the regular dog food but...
Title: Re: New food Post by: halfbreed on July 17, 2013, 07:37:53 pm yep a lot of trouble especially when they figure out that them feathery things running around the yard are what they have been eating . not a good day for a free ranged chicken lol .
Title: Re: Re: New food Post by: Fixitlouie on July 17, 2013, 09:53:20 pm Looking into leg quarters. Problem I have is no feed store around me...but yes halfbreed walmart just down the way..im glad to see others doing or did same..
from me.....who else. tapatalk Title: Re: New food Post by: cantexduck on July 17, 2013, 10:42:16 pm I feed 325-400 pounds of chicken a month. 4.59-5.59 per ten pound bags. Call around to different Walmarts. It is a pain but it keeps me from smelling dog crap. I also feed a oatmeal yogurt concoction with supplements. You can not just feed raw meat they need other minerals etc.
