I am just going to make one little, eensy change to the above, and it
will all be just dandy. Take this sentence:
"I am going to start giving just chicken backs for two weeks."

And make it say THIS instead:
"I am going to start giving just whole chickens for two weeks."

And you'll be off to a grand start.

Chicken BACKS are sad little bony things, bereft of meaningful meat.
What you really want to feed is something more like a whole critter:
mostly meat, with just enough edible bone to hold it all together,
and some organs tucked away inside. Grocery-store-whole chickens are
pretty close to that, to start with.

For newbies, I think the vast majority of questions are answered by a
couple days of keeping up to date with ALL new posts -- all
questions, all answers, everything we discuss. You could always go
back in time, on the archives, and start a few days ago if you don't
want to wait for a few days' new messages.
