Rainer, I do the same with the chick heads, I would say that 90% of my kings eat chicks and the majority of the 10$ that don't are neonates that I have on fuzzies or hoppers right now. I pull of the chick heads and feed them to my smaller FL Kings and they jump all over them. I also give my adult female hogs heads every other feeding during breeding season because it seems to fill them out without causing them to be overweight. In my collection, mice sometimes cause a female to become too fat and then she ends up laying a small clutch or sometimes she rejects the male all together and I don't get even one egg out of them at all. Since I have switched over to chicks my snakes have been growing much faster and have put on weight but not to the extent that they become "obese" as they had before when on mice. I do feed mice every once in a while but the majority of my snakes' diet consists of chick heads and bodies
