Picked up the Kenmore. Real nice and says it only costs $24 a year to operate it.

Different butcher shop, Cattlemans, and this place carriers EVERYTHING!! From beef tongue, to mountain oysters, livers, hearts, lungs, and normal chicken, steak, etc. Also carriers whole sides/slabs/etc. Their meat department/display is a walk in cool room. Super cool.

40# cases of leg quarters, delievered fresh daily is $0.65 or less per lb / $26 or less.

This will be my meat place. I can use the others as back ups, but I don't think there will be a reason.

I'm on board but not serving... We will make the switch next week. Just been in homework mode, and bought the freezer. Will power up freezer and buy chicken this weekend.

Thinking of making the switch sunday (later today). Question. Have any of you had any issues with the switch? Puking? Difficulty pooping? Do they poop whole pieces of bone or no?

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this:
As long as he's chewing up the bones, no worries.
He gets 30 mins with his chicken pieces, if he don't eat it, back in the fridge, waits till following day.
Sit and wait for the food.
No more kibble.
Just run chicken, no veggies or other meats, for 2-3 weeks.

All my dogs threw up a couple of times during the first month. There was always bone fragments in the puke, but I think that was mainly because I was feeding pieces too small for them to have to chew (neck bones)

The poop should be nothing more than compacted bone dust. It will turn while and basically be a powder when it dries....there should be no whole bone fragments in their poop.

Sometimes it helps to feed them by hand, you can teach them how to eat correctly by not letting them swallow it whole, :lol:

Thanks.

Picked up the chicken today. 40# of chicken leg quarters for $26 ($0.65 per #) Do you guys find that to be a good price?

Used press & seal to break down the case into days. Have probably 2 weeks worth. Depending on how well he eats.

Tried to feed him earlier but he didn't want anything to do with it.

He woke up from the couch, and was lookin at his bowl for food. I grabbed his bowl of chicken from the fridge. Warmed it slightly with warm tap water. Put it out for him, showed, him... he sniffs it with interest but looks confused. Then ultimately laid back down in disgust of his empty stomach.

Try cutting it up and feeding it to him by hand or what about blending it up and mixing it with some dry food?
