They're nice for a treatand that's about it. There isn't really that much in the way of nutrients from them. I use chicken wing tips for juvenile childreni sometimes.

I sometimes feed my pythons chicken necks. I warm them with hot water the same as defrosting a frozen rodent. The snakes that are aggressive eaters seem to woof them down. Dave

Anything goes with my blackheads in moderation of course.

Necks chicken and duck
wings, drumsticks, hearts, livers.
Quails, chicks, rats,

Rotate around a bit.

Pretty high bone to meat ratio in chicken necks IMO. Nothing in particular wrong with that I wouldn't do it to often myself.

All of those can be fed, i feed my chicken breast, but as already mention there is very little nutritional value.

Good for a treat everyone now and then tho.

They should eat them after they shed. My Coastals love little chooks.
