Best animal to raise for raw fed dogs?

[bagendhens]

i agree with watchdog...

i feed prey model and my dogs are tiny so when doing larger prey like chicken, 1 chicken is a week or more worth of meals for my 3 and 5lb er...

generally i do whatever i can get my hands on...i do try and switch it up with 3 different sources (rabbit quail and makerel) but some months its mostly rabbit, others it might be chicken because thats all i can get ect...

its better than corn, and byproduct and dyes...
and ill continue to follow prey model full time once i get my own place rather than only partial raw as i feed right now.

lol gotta love those people, kinda folks that think the easter bunny delivers the eggs to the store and chicken breasts are magically produced in those little celophane packages...

Actually, I think those breasts are manufactured somewhere in Hollywood......

we feed ours beef, pork, mutton, goats, pigeons, chooks, ducks, turkeys, geese, venison (if I happen to shot one) and anything they can catch like sparrows, bunnies, quails, etc...

but.. a pigeon is a good meal, for the size of my dogs, 1 pigeon (whole) feeds 1 dog a day feather and all.... usually not a trace of it left...

which animal is the best?

 

[BorderKelpie]

I'd like to know more about raising birds for my dogs.

How hard is it to raise pigeons for them? (provided I don't name them all and get attached and have to start to raise something for the pigeons and then get attached to that and name that, and.................)

 

[bagendhens]

im told squab (the official name for pigeon meat) is very easy to raise!, i belive theres a pigeon forum here on BYC.

nzpouter! thats funny, if i tried to give mine with feathers attatched thered be feathers everywhere, my dogs pluck...they wont eat em, just spit em out all over the place LOL.
