One-day-old chicks (chickens) colorful/mix 1 kg x 10 - one-day-old chicks for cats as whole prey

Our one-day-old chicks are not only feed for reptiles and food for hedgehogs or birds of prey — they are also the quintessence of a natural and healthy diet for every cat or dog. Chicken chicks sold in the Raw Petfood store fit perfectly into the whole prey diet model for cats (what is whole prey).

Healthy and convenient whole prey at your fingertips

In our store, we have prepared for sale one-day-old chickens for cats, containing as much as 10 kg of chicks, packed in convenient, one-kilogram ziplock bags. This allows our customers to purchase a solid stock of food for cats on a whole prey diet, while also ensuring the convenience of feeding animals. The way we prepare our one-day-old chickens for cats means they are never stuck together, frozen to each other. Each individual piece can be easily taken out, and the one-kilogram bags allow for the animal food to be tightly sealed and conveniently fitted in a freezer space.

How do we prepare one-day-old chickens for cats at Raw Petfood?

At Raw Petfood, we sell one-day-old chickens, which come from our hatcheries, run by us for over twenty years. Immediately after hatching, the chicks intended for cat food are euthanized using carbon dioxide, in a way that does not cause suffering to the animals, which is our priority. Then, the chicks for cats are cooled down and subjected to deep freezing. Throughout the entire process (which we detailed on our animal nutrition blog) the chicken chicks undergo manual selection. Each of them goes through human hands, where we assess their quality.

This guarantees that in our store whole prey never includes sick or unhatched chicks. This distinguishes us from many other feed stores — at Raw Petfood, we do not sell chickens that are production waste nor are any animals treated in this way by our staff. In our hatcheries, cockerels are inherently considered a full-value product, while also being treated with due respect and a humane approach.

Why are one-day-old chickens a good choice for cats?

Natural whole prey diet for cats: By choosing to feed your cat one-day-old chicken chicks, you are providing it with food in the form it could obtain in the natural environment, supporting its health and instincts. Additionally, the chickens offered as part of this product are distinguished by their coloring, which makes them look similar to wild animals that are natural prey for cats and other predators. This is particularly valued among our customers who buy chickens as feed for birds of prey. Feeding falcons, owls, and eagles with brown and black chicken chicks supports their natural instincts, mimicking the plumage of birds they hunt in the wild. Similarly, chicken chicks in these colors can provide an interesting variety in the diet of a domestic cat.
Feeding that supports physical and mental health: Whole animals are not just meat, but also everything else a cat would eat in nature. Regular consumption of a whole prey diet improves the physical condition of the cat, providing all the necessary components for proper cat feeding. Moreover, the whole prey diet does not contain unnecessary elements in cat nutrition, such as plant-based products, preservatives, dyes, or excess carbohydrates. All this means that such a nutrition model supports the well-being and condition of cats.
A complete food for cats: One-day-old chickens for cats are rich in meat protein as well as vitamins and minerals from internal organs and body fluids, which are essential for maintaining optimal condition and health of your cat. The whole prey diet is a full-value way of feeding, just as healthy as feeding animals meat with supplements (barf) or high-quality wet food. The whole prey model, including chicken chicks, can be the basis of a cat's diet or a valuable addition to another diet.

Is whole prey suitable for every cat or not?

Feeding animals with one-day-old chickens for cats works as a nutrition model for most individuals. It is a type of food for animals both young, at their prime, or older cats. Our feed in 10 kg sets is especially liked by cat breeders, who use feeding chicken chicks as elements of the whole prey model, barf (meat with supplements), or another healthy food.

How to serve one-day-old chickens for cats:

One-day-old chickens are ready to serve after thawing, preferably at room temperature, which gives the cat the greatest pleasure from eating. They can be components of the whole prey nutrition model or an addition to any other food, including barf (a diet consisting of meat and supplements) or commercial feeds. Frozen chicken chicks should be stored in the freezer in a sealed package. It is recommended to thaw only as much food as is needed at the time for your cats. One-day-old chickens for cats should be treated like any other kind of meat, i.e., maintaining ordinary hygiene standards.
