It was ceratainly wolfing the chick down like it was BBQ sauce thats for sure

Mind you my Easterns aren't exactly shy feeders by any stretch of the imagination. They will swallow anything even remotely food like.

I remember someone mentioning something about feeding Drys 'mutton bird oil' many moons ago. Does anyone know what this is? or use it themselves? I wondered if that's what it might be.
