Chicken bits as food?

[ConcinusMan]

And it's OK to feed them bits of lean chicken meat, beef heart, turkey & chicken liver once in a while too and that was the original question. I certainly wouldn't make those the majority of their diet though.

The gizzard is the birds crop. The muscular organ that holds the grit used to grind up food.
They are split in half and have the inner membrane peeled out. The muscle is good lean protien- I trim it away from the tough outer connective tissues.

I feed the heart, liver and gizzard when I get some with a whole roasting chicken.
Local ethnic markets sell bulk frozen packages of gizzards and mixed hearts and gizzards, but I've neverpurchased in that quantity.
Look near the chitlins, kidneys, liver and other specialty meats.
