Where To Buy Chicken Bones Etc Near Penrith

[Boxer05]

I am sure that this has been done before but I have done a search and couldnt find anything.

Where do people on the forum buy their chicken frames, necks and mince from out in the Western Suburbs of Sydney near Penrith?

[missmoo]

have you tried any of your local butchers?

I get my from a butcher over here or from a fresh pet food supplier

The chicken shop at Nepean Square has necks etc for good prices.

I buy chicken frames or pieces etc(depending what they have) from Westerns Pet foods at Hoxton Park, Takes me about 20-25 Min from Erskine Park. I buy bulk, sort into bags I need for 1 day and freeze. You need to take home straight away, bag and freeze as it has no preservative. I normally take a big esky with me.

They also have all your other meats (Puppy mince, chicken mince, semi lean, racing, brisket, etc) You have to buy at least 2kg of which ever meat you need and the more you buy the cheaper it gets. Most meat are always available but for chicken pieces you need to ring and see what they have because it is delivered on a certain days and not kept long before they mince it up.

Western Pet foods supply to most of the other dog food shops so they are cheaper. They sell almost everything you would ever need for your pets and I travel because I have found them cheaper than say the pet barns etc in the penrith area.

From memory chicken Pieces and chicken mince is about .70 cents a kilo for 5 kilo's. Not sure as I buy 20KG lots for myself and a friend.

If they don't have the pieces there is also a chicken shop on Elizabeth Drive just past cowpasture rd. They kill and pack the chicken on the premises (I think on mondays, Wed & Fri) so it is fresher on these days. You can get whatever pieces you need for about $1.00 kg or you can buy already packed 10KG lots for .70 cents a kilo for pet. I prefer to buy

the $1.00 kg stuff as it is fresher. The 10kg preboxed seemed not as fresh to me so I'm guessing They box up the older stuff to sell for pets.

You can buy frames, feet, pieces, or a mixture of pieces. When I get a mixture I have to tell them not to give me any wing tips as they are too small for my guys.

Thanks rotts4ever. I am at St Clair so this place might be the go. Just so I have it right if you want fames and necks then it is best to call the before hand? Are the open on weekends?

I'm not sure about necks as i don't feed them to the Rotts, a bit small, I would call first for chicken pieces and fames. I used to buy on a friday and had no problems getting any but now I buy on a Monday and quite often they had run out or minced them.

They are open on a Sat but I'm not sure of their hours for businesses that have an account with them they don't do accounts on a sat as they are too busy. If you buy regulary you can have a running order which they will put away but this didn't suit me because it would be frozen and too hard to seperate to bag up.

They can either have frames or Pieces (Pieces can be thigh,leg bones, half frames etc) depending on what has been delivered. So when you ring just ask if they have any frames or pieces, I learnt to ask for both as if I rang and asked if they had pieces and they didn't the girls forgot to mention that they had frames. go figure!

Best to ring anyway and if they have them ask them to put away under your name and that your on your way to get them, save you a trip if they don't have what you want.

I have their phone number, no sure if I am allowed to post it here? you can email at [email protected] if you need it

Red Lea chicken at Blacktown (right next to the pound) does good size boxes of chicken frames for $10.

Or if youre willing to travel a little further on to Merrylands, there is a butcher that does them for $5 a box. They are big boxes of large & meaty carcases. (I cut them in half, bag them and take out of the tuckerbox freezer as required) Its good value - you can get anywhere from 20 to 40 meals out of one box for $5. You dont have to cut them in half you can serve them as. They are pretty big tho. I go through 2 to 3 boxes a week here. PLUS beef bones. But I have on average 10 med-largish dogs here at any one time.

They do the beef bones for $1.50 per kilo too aswell as other weekly specials for the dogs.
