Due to a few health issues of my own, I am going to have to start buying natural, free range, hormone-free chicken for myself. 90% of the meat I eat is chicken, I hardly eat any beef, pork, or other meats, I just don't like them as much as chicken!
Well I'll be buying the chicken from a local health food store, probably most if it will be a whole chicken. I've been buying whole chickens for about a yr and a half and cutting them up myself( I find it cheaper since chicken is my main source of meat for myself and DH) it just wasn't the natural kind, it was the kind you find at any old supermarket.
My question is, when I cut the chicken up I seperate it into the usual; breast, legs, thighs and wings. Of course the wing tips, neck, back and ribs get leftover and discarded. Instead of discarding them I was wondering if it would be ok to give them to Ricky Bobby? Now I'm not meaning I'm going to feed them exclusively, he'll still get the same he eats now, just with the added raw meat and bones thrown in, seperately of course, . Can that be done? Has anyone else done anything similar? I just figure why would I waste it when I have a cat who could benefit from it? I would like to possibly do a raw diet for him, after having a little time to research and see if it's the right thing for RB and my family, but that's a possibility a few years down the road.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or experiences?
