Prime Rib????

[Attila]

My wife and I went out for dinner tonight for prime rib. We don't have a dog and we were wondering if we can give the bones with the meat that is on them to our hens? I didn't want to give it to them without asking first.

I have given them meat on the bone before. I don't think there will be any issues so long as there aren't any small bones they can choke on.

I thought it would be okay. They are big prime rib bones, no small bones to choke on. Thanks!

I just gave it to them and they went crazy over it!!

I work in the meat room at a local market and often times there is product on my boots ranging from hamburg to meat bits to fat. Lets say when I walk into the pen I fear for my life. One time there was a large amount and half the flock was stocking me as I was walking away.Funny but had me concerned. So meat away.

If you fall down, remember to take the boots off and throw them to create a diversion! Then get up and run!

As for small bones, chickens don't choke like that. The eat small critters--mice, frogs, lizards, things like that--- and don't choke. They swallow them whole and their system grinds it up.
