In SE Asia, hobbyists primarily feed chicken to their retics and burms, as it is the only food source available. The snakes seem to do OK, but rabbits and rats are a far better source of nutrition, and are readily available here in Canada.

I think most people who have tried poultry will agree that the resulting feces has viscous texture and a sharper scent.

Hope this helps.

I have two albino burms and a few other snakes that i fed chicks to and they made a mess all over their tank about a week later......the smell was amazing too....rabbits are way easier to deal with....
