Guest FijiHound Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have 15kgs worth of duck feet being delivered to my house on Friday... I can't conceive how much 15kgs really looks like...but whatever it is - I don't think I have enough freezer space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have no idea what 15kgs is but after my one adventure with chicken feet I was totally creeped out and that will never happen again. If duck feet don't have toenails I might be able to handle that better...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FijiHound Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 My dog goes completely cross eyed over chicken feet (nails and all!!!) so I thought I'd try her out on duck and see what she thinks - hopefully A+ or else I'm stuck with 15kgs worth!!!!!!!!! It was either get the whole bang lot or nothing and it was going cheap - any excuse when its cheap haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_Lazygreys Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 While my two LOVE chicken feet I don't think I will be feeding those again. One of mine would eat them "leg" part first and with the chomping the pad of the chicken foot would blow up like a balloon. That freaked me out! Aside from that, 15kgs if I did my conversion right is 33 pounds! That is a lot of duck feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyTzu Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Ours dogs love both the duck and chicken feets. Even little Rocky, although it takes him too long to eat one. Kevin will break off a toe just for him. :lol Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd. American by birth, Southern by choice.

Guest Lakota Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Lakota goes ape for dried duck feet. She would love for me to come across a stash like that. Other than wings, duck is very expensive here. How did you come find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than wings, duck is very expensive here. How did you come find it? Called up a duck farm here in Fiji out of curiousity, the thing about Fiji is that everyone knows everyone or help you find someone! They provide restaurants with ducks minus the feet that they were just throwing away or turning into fertilizer! So offered it to me for $1 a kg which is around US$.50c for a kilo Score!!! Only problem was they would only sell the whole bang lot which would come up to 15 kilos - totally worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time4ANap Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 OK... i had to go there.....figuring 1/2 oz per duck foot (I'm guessing at the weight), you have 1056 duck feet coming.....Better get some Ziplocs.....

Found dehydrated duck feet online and it appears they are about 1/2 oz each. Since these aren't dehydrated there will be more weight to them. Can't wait to hear what you end up with.

Guest bluefawn Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I give Penny the chicken feet too - she loves them! But I take kitchen shears and snip off all of the toenails and then store them in the freezer in zip-lock freezer bags. I give her 1-2 per day. I am afraid to give them to her with those long (and gross!) toenails on! I am worried that they may rip into one of her internal organs. Will check the local restaurants that serve duck to see if I can buy the duck feet from them - great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Houndstown Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 We order dehydrated duck feet, chicken feet and liver from a vendor in Canada. She's greyt and the dogs love them. You're pups are going to be happy for a while it sounds!! Although I will say the first time I opened up the box I was more than a bit surprised. It's crazy what you get used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozziemydoggy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Wow!! I WISH I could buy duck feet that cheap! The cheapest I've found is $2.50 per pound. I think they are way more than 1/2 oz each, unless the ones I saw were related to Godzilla somehow. Quote Argo and bridge babies Artemis, Icarus and Iris.

Guest BonnieW Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Still a newb and wondering what the advantage is to giving the pups chicken/duck feet? Is that like the turkey neck, which is good for teeth? Is that why I should consider giving Draco feet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FijiHound Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Still a newb and wondering what the advantage is to giving the pups chicken/duck feet? Is that like the turkey neck, which is good for teeth? Is that why I should consider giving Draco feet? here are some chicken feet feeding tips: 1. Don’t look closely at the feet 2. Don’t listen to the sounds of scratching nails as you dump the package into the bowl 3. Don’t watch your pup eat the feet because inevitably your dog will look up at you with a foot hanging out of it’s mouth 4. No, you don’t need to clip the nails before feeding 5. Yes, they are considered a full meal 6. No, it won’t hurt coming out the other end That and they go gaga over it...to the point of going cross-eyed in my case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FijiHound Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Unfortunately I can't get anything deydrated all the way here in Fiji...but on the other hand I do get the feet less than an hour after being chopped off their little legs - so disturbing how far we go for some pups!
