Our chicken is from the human food chain. Depending on what is available we use a mix of free range and barn raised chickens for our mixes, necks and frames. We also stock locally sourced Organic Chicken frames.

The necks in particular are amazing for keeping cats' teeth clean; and their soft, cartilaginous structure makes them a great choice for all ages and stages. We don't recommend unattached (free flow) necks for most dogs. For example: chicken necks suit cats and very small dogs well; however we advise against giving them to a Labrador (unless the necks are still attached to the whole frame).
