Ugh, gross. Seems like it would be a stinky, maggot mess by 2-4 days in warm weather. I am not usually squeamish but this is gross. Seems like the dog's face would be bloody and the dead chickens laying around would not be a good thing at all. There is a yahoo group for feeding dogs raw meat that can answer questions and share on how to feed raw. Cathryn
Depends on the dog how much work you have to do. One of my dogs I can just kill chicken and hand to dog, the other dog I have to cut open the chicken but not pluck it, he eats it from the inside out and leaves what he doesn't want. I feed my dogs outside so mess doesn't really matter. During the winter I feed in a crate and I switch to more of a Franken-prey type model or use plucked/cleaned chickens. Takes my dogs about 2-4 days to eat a chicken.
Around me I can get Cornish X chicks for $2.00 I think at TSC but only in May/April.
Hope that helps!
