chicken wings

[stopemhopping 1]

is it ok to feed my 10 week old polecat chicken wings? if so do you feed them raw or cooked? on the bone or meat pulled off.

thanks.

If you can get them cheap enough, chuck them in raw, if you cook them it makes the bones brittle and harder to digest

70p i pay 30 ish when they reduce them at the end of the night have a quiet word with the manager of the butchers section and see if he will keep them back for you like mine does, i even get other bits and bobs thrown in aswell. atb mart

i agree but if your not a lazy sod and keep an eye on things there should be no bother at all

How quick are we talking

[martnmagik 68]

it depends how fresh the chicken is to begin with i suppose, but personally i feed in the mornings and take out what (if any) isnt eaten when i shut them up for the night, BUT during hotter months i feed at night when there are less flys about and remove leftovers in the mornings. but this is just my way of doing things,everyone does it different

ok i reckon ill leave it a couple of hours and if its still there ill chuck it.

or will that be to long?

[martnmagik 68]

i wouldnt worry to much as they usually drag food off into the sleeping quarters in the shade (or mine do anyway) if your really that concerned about it going off keep an eye out and when its had its fill and fell asleep take it out.

Feed them raw, I cut each one into 3 with some garden secatures.

exactly! that's what I do and there's never any problems.

 

Don't quite understand the logic of the guy feeding them in the morning and taking it out at night but hey, each to their own!

 

and old timer.....combination of scare mongering and talking bollocks Chicken left in the hutch over night is still OK in the morning, even in summer. Leave it in during the day during the summer and it starts getting iffy but I'd have though you'd have to leave it in for a couple of days before it'd become a killer. And in winter I wouldn't have a problem leaving it in for 2 or 3 days because the temperature outside is actually similar (or colder) than that of a fridge

I think the point was bying wings which are reduced and at the use by date or past it , not fresh ones left in over night , ; )

Asda or whoever will have them in a chiller and they will be fine it will only be the display date thats near its time .And it wont go off that quickly left overnight in a hutch will be fine
