Turkey wings?

Has anyone had trouble with their dogs not eating turkey wings?

I gave my lot one each last weekend and only my Dali pup ate his (it took him 3 hours but he managed it) but the other 2 dogs didn't eat them.
I took them up after a while when they didn;t show an interest and put them back in the freezer, got them out again this weekend, gave the puppy one to himself and chopped one in half for the other 2 and they still won't touch it?
My Retriever x is picky anyway but my Collie usually eats anything and everything.

If it were me I would listen to what your dogs are telling you. Turkey bones, I have found are very hard and brittle. Anytime I fed them they splintered into shards - the two bigger dogs ate them, our middle girl didnt. I definitely wouldnt feed to a puppy. I would keep to chicken wings if I were you, i never feed turkey now.

Puppy doesn't eat the bones, just eats the meat off it.

Collie ate hers in the end, Retriever didn't so had a turkey neck which he ate and loved. I won't be buying them again as they obviously aren't a favourite (decided that last week, it's obviously not the turkey as the only minced meat my retriever will eat happily is the turkey one and he likes the necks) but I have to do something with the ones I already have, I just wondered if anyone else had the same experiences or if these ones aren't right.

I have never fed Turkey to Luchi, but recently she will not touch her lamb bone, at all. Also would not eat chicken leg I gave her this morning, just took it out to the garden and left it there not sure if she is trying to tell me something, or whether she is holding out for the less hard work beef chunks/tripe etc. So for the first time ever, she has not had breakfast

I am not about to offer all sorts of goodies though to get her to eat. I am sure she will finish up tonights meal.

It can affect the pancreas with long term feeding
