I have one of these at 5 weeks and a few more (I think!) In the booder and they're celadon carriers

No...that's too much.

Wait really? Even with all the egg cartons and scissors?

Can someone come cut some heads off for me today please.

I'm not looking forward to this.

Since I'm now convinced that the dogs can eat whole quail I'm thinking of making dog food with the ones I'm going to butcher today.

My question is can I cut the legs wings and head off skin them and then cook it whole without removing the guts?

What I really want to know is if this is going to stink my house up.

So I really don’t have personal experience with this but some things I’ve heard are:

1. Poultry bones are only dog safe when raw. The cooking makes them splinter.

2. An eagle rescue center I visited removes the intestines from the prey before they feed but not the other organs. Their concern is pathogens.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Go start a load of laundry.

Good idea. I was planning on doing that anyway but haven’t yet.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Yes.

Ah okay. I wasn’t sure cause isn’t it normally way higher than that??

Although that does seem a little high ha

Oooohhhhh I wish I could get them. You had me at celadon carriers haha but the bidding has gone way high now so sadly I can’t/won’t haha

Quail bones are like toothpicks...I don't think I am worried about the bones as much as I am the intestines.
But would the cooking process kill the nastiness in the intestines?

Btw I’m pretty sure the falb fee went over asking. $32. And there’s apparently another auction addict on there cause the guy that won won the sparkly ones too. Wonder what he’s gonna do with all those eggs

The falb fee go for $30/25. $32/30 is not what I'd call a great deal.

I think it should but I’m not sure. Maybe you could at least remove the intestines but leave the other stuff? But that might be too much of a hassle. I’m sure it’s fine cooked. Just don’t know if they’d find it appetizing haha although I wonder if the quail feed is safe for the dogs? Might still be in the intestines since I don’t think you withhold feed do you? And for the faker I’d maybe remove the bones but the boxers it’s probably fine. But for anything bigger than a quail I wouldn’t give them the cooked bones
