Possibly a silly question but are chicken scraps, the stuff that humans don’t eat, more valuable than whole chickens? The reason I ask is that I’ve just bought 2kg of dried chicken feet and 2kg of dried chicken necks for my dog. I thought I got a good price paying just under £40 for that lot. I could have bought a whole lot of whole chickens for that! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Whole chicken is a sales tool for supermarkets. Sell them cheap in the hope that the customer will think the whole store is good value. Then they will buy the paxo spuds and wine to go with the chicken.
Also is there vat on dog food?
70000 of my chickens hit the shops last week 70000 .more next week. And im only a small farm in comparison to many.
One guy i know sells 200000 a week. Im 140000 every 9weeks At work

70,000 chickens - that's 70,000 necks and 140,000 feet - you should whip them off first! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I'm sure some people eat chicken scraps; that's the stuff that gets minced and put in pies and curry etc., or anything where you can't readily see the meat.

Chicken gizzards is a very popular meal amongst the local population of East Africa

I’ve often seen gizzards on the menu in France. Never fancied them though. They’re something out of the throat aren’t they? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

"Mechanically separated chicken" (the bits of carcass left over when everything worthwhile is taken off, chucked through a mincer) is turned into a slurry paste and is the main ingredient in the hot dog "sausages" the kids eat.
