A Few Questions on Feeding Raw.

I would buy the whole chicken and cut off portions for Lily, it'd be much cheaper that way. When you buy cuts of meat you are being charged more for the time that it takes them to cut everything up.

Okay, so if I bought 2 whole chickens.. I could feed Roxy half of it for one meal, plus maybe an egg or something added in there if I wanted? Then, buy another whole chicken for Lily and give her parts with added egg or veggies or something in there? If only my mom could get convinced and get a new job. So... let's say I bought 4 chickens. How many meals would that be for Lily? (saying I split the Chickens betweeen them. 2 for her, 2 for Roxy) Is meat usually cheaper at a butchers?
My mom still has it in her mind that they'll choke on the bones, or that the dogs are going to get sick because of all the crap they put in meat nowadays. I told her dogs have stronger immune systems, but she's still not listening to me!

4 whole chickens (approx 2.5-4lbs/each) will feed ALL 4 of my dogs 2 meals each. And sometimes I even have a thigh or leg or the like left over after 2 meals.

Raustyk weighs 98lbs
Nanook 75lbs
(they get the bigger chickens)

Kaige 52lbs
Indy 62lbs
(they get the smaller chickens)

They should last a little while then, since Roxy's smaller than Kaige, and Lily's a midget compared to them.

Yeah, I'd say you'd have to split up the chickens between them. If you fed Lilly meat from only one chicken you'd have to freeze it because it would go bad before she could eat it all.

I could just use one chicken and split it between them.. I dunno how they're going to react to the meat though, my mom said Lily won't eat it, but that's what she said about the egg, too ;D.

Any tips on convincing her..?
