Sometimes I catch fish that is too cumbersome to cook. And yet it is

So, I would like to simply feed it to the chickens. Is that a good
idea? Can chickens pick at a un-filleted whole fish?

Would also depend on where you catch the fish and the species. There is a
mercury advisory on some fish in the COE lake near me ... only one fish
meal per month for children and pregnant wormen.
