I've fed chicken off and on for quite a long time but only for the past few years have I given parts of chicken rather then whole chicken or rodents (rodents are the majority of the diet) The benefits I've seen were the animals seemed to put weight on quicker then on just rodents ( I usually when feeding chicken parts will give atleast 1 rodent along with chicken, but the chicken is usually just used as a "supplement" when awaiting a rodent order or for breedable adults that need to add more weight). The downside is the stool is usually quite a bit looser and in some cases looks grainy/sandy in consistency. The longest I ever gave chicken parts and only chicken parts was a stretch of time that lasted around 4 months or so and that was due to my rabbit supplier quitting their production (this was only for 1 animal which required 4 xxl rats per meal or rabbits).
