antisense Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm so happy. I dropped by my neighborhood meat shop today and they gave me nearly 10 pounds of frozen chicken backs for FREE! Now I'm faced with the puzzle of how to separate the backs while keeping them frozen since I was given two 5lb bags and I don't want to thaw out 5 pounds in one go. They are frozen together pretty solidly so I haven't been able to pull them apart. Any one have any ideas?

HoundHeavenAZ Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 SCORE! I'd probably thaw them a bit and then take a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to them. That's what I do with a 30LB block of turkey necks so I can re-freeze them separately. Good luck and congrats Quote Jody, Leah & JimmieYou left us much, much too soon Lima & Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAJ2010 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've tried various ways of hacking stuff apart.... Now I just let them thaw overnight then repackage and freeze so much easier Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes- you can refreeze. Just an fyi- chicken backs have too much bone, not enough meat. Make sure you are giving more meat or you will have a constipated pup. Most raw feeders don't recommend feeding backs. Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

RedHead Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) It's fine to refreeze for dogs. Mine have even dug old meat up in the garden and eaten it before I could catch them. Edited August 19, 2013 by RedHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I thaw out 50 lbs of meat at a time and refreeze all the time. Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.
