Whole bird...
Buddy has his first experience with a whole bird today- it was quite funny- and I'm wondering if it has too much skin? A whole bird is two days of meals for him. The skin was so think I ended up taking quite a bit off. I'm wondering if it's okay for them to eat?

I'd think the only problem might be some looser stools from the oil content of the skin, but nothing harmful. Unless you step in it

Ya skin is pretty fatty, so it does result in loose poops. Sierra gets runny from just a quarter chicken with skin on! I can't imagine a whole bird! eek!
I take the skin off now, unless I'm giving her small pieces (like backs). It's a good precaution just so you don't have to deal with the poops!

I personally wouldn't worry about it too much. Mine eat whole birds with skin, no problems. Fattier raw foods don't seem to bother them one bit. But I dunno, it depends on if Buddy is used to it or not.

I give mine whole chickens whenever i get them on sale. Never had a problem with the skin here. Chickens (whole chickens) are bonier than meals I normally feed, so that extra bone tends to 'firm' things up.
