No need to weigh it. Just guess. If your dogs start to look fat, cut them down, if they are thin, increase it. By the way, a chicken quarter usually weighs around a pound. A half a 3-4 lb chicken obviously weighs 1.5-2 lbs If you bought whole chickens I would probably cut them in half and feed one half to Roxy and cut the other half in Lily-sized portions. Do it however is easiest for you, it doesn't matter really. If the chickens come with organs, put them in the freezer until you are safe to introduce them into their diet. Don't add anything to the meat, it would be too much for them to handle right now. Just use the chicken until their stools are firm, then add another protein source, and another, until all main sources are added. Once you've done that, you can add other things like veggies and organs. The reasoning for this is to slowly move them into the diet. Plus, if you are feeding two or more things at a time and there is a problem, then how do you know which meat caused it?
Well, Roxy needs 28 ounces, about 1 and 3/4 pounds, but I may just do 1 and a half.. Lily needs 1/4 of a pound. Okay, Chicken only. Roxy really needs to put on some weight, and I'm so worried about her teeth right now it's driving me nuts.. I'm going to supervise while they eat, too.. Probably feed Lily before Roxy, since I'll have to stand outside with Rox.

Aww, Monica! Maybe they'll give in. I hope my mom sees the differences in the dogs and lets us continue the diet.

Oh, and Sarah, is it okay if I still leave Lily's kibble out for her all day?
