My boys increase their frequency of meals in the winter time. Do you have a weekly feeding schedule set up? Like what foods do you feed him each week?

I don't really have a set schedule for him, but I put his food in bags by day. One day's worth of food is in one bag (rather than putting one meal in each bag like I was doing before.)
I try to get some bone in at LEAST every other day, and some organs in about twice a week, but for the most part, I get a chicken, chop it up and put it in bags, then serve.

Excellent. I just really needed an idea of what you were feeding him (I myself dont have a set "schedule" either). Sounds good. Bone (almost) daily, organs 2x per week. Some questions:
Do you feed any other meats besides chicken on a regular basis? What organs do you feed on they days you feed organ?

I feed him tuna about once a week. He doesn't go crazy for it, but he does eat it. I finally got him to eat some ground turkey, but he'd much rather have chicken. I try to get different aged chickens. For the whole fryers, I always get young, but I try to get the larger chicken legs. I feed him liver, intestines (I think that's organ?), and whatever giblets I dig out of the chicken. Still waiting for my mom to give the the turkey giblets.... I'm not sure what organs are what sometimes, though. I give him gizzards and hearts about 2-3 times a week.

I'm going to be getting him some day old chicks soon. I'm not exactly sure when, but I'm getting them locally. Just waiting for a response from the one selling them. They have some problems since the older chickens are plucking at them, so they're only $1 each. :3
ETA: Why was this thread moved? I can't find it unless I go to my profile and click on it from there. :/
