mantis Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Since I moved to Vic, I have trouble buying chicken frames. Woolies & Coles no longer sell them, they said all their chicken comes already cut up. I refuse to pay $3.90 a kg for chicken necks, it's a rip off. Yesterday I went to my local butcher desperate to get them, I was so happy they sold them, only cost $1 for 3 frames. Just a heads up for anyone in the Kilsyth & surrounding areas who may be having trouble finding them. It's the butcher at Churinga SC, next door to the cake shop, don't be tempted to go in there though, you will gain weight just walking through the door.

minimax Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I get mine from Lenerds Chickens - 20 or 25 frames for $5 (they just chuck them in the bag, sometimes it's more like 30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inka3095 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Are chicken frames safe for a 16 week old puppy? I was feeding chopped up marrow bones until my friend said she was FAR too young to be eating them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might take forever to eat them though (depending on the breed). Also depending on breed they might not need a whole frame just yet.

BC Crazy Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Gosh I hope woolies don't stop selling them in NSW cause they are really meaty & its only 3 mins awat from home. Minimax , Lenards are cheap, arent they? Wish we had one near us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inka3095 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks so much :) I tried chicken necks but she eats them in 2 bites so they're not really worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said $5 and I said uh, what? I had a $20 note out ready and wasn't expecting her to say $5 I reckon if they didn't need to put something through the till they'd just give them away.

I'm still trying to figure out if this is a good deal, though yours sounds WAY better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantis Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 I don't have a car, so have to use public transport & that would require me catching two buses both ways to my closest Lennards, unfortunately. So I am glad I can get them at my local SC. Will ask my daughter if she is ever anywhere near a Lennards, to buy me 5kgs. The ones I used to buy from the local Halal butcher in Perth, had heaps of meat on them, in winter I used to buy extra & make chicken soup.

Guest Labradork Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) They have frames at Safeway where I live. Maybe contact the head office and ask when/if they're going to get more in at your local store? I'm paranoid about bones and supervise my Lab eating them every time :) Edited October 25, 2012 by Labradork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Lili was sent home from her breeder with a massive chicken thigh piece and she was only 11 weeeks :laugh: So yeah chicken bones are fine for pups! Sometimes the bigger piece, even if a bit big, are better as they're less likely to gobble and choke. We freeze bones too as it slows them down. We get bags of chicken frames, probably with about 5 or 6 frames for $2 at a butcher near us. Both dogs get one each and they luuuuurve them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 With frames always remember to remove the wishbone. There was a Bullmastiff puppy on here a while back who died from the wishbone piercing his intestines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
