Age for feeding whole chicken

What age can I start feeding whole ground chicken recipes, including bones? We currently feed chicken breast with supplements, as the breeder suggested. I tried to Google it and have read different things.

I've had kittens as young as 3.5 weeks eating Mom's ground raw (either Chicken, Rabbit, Pork or Beef). I would get them off the chicken breast ASAP, it is not balanced for a kitten, unless the supplement is specifically designed for that.

My cats were weaned from milk directly to raw by my breeders.

As DumaLove states, it is important to balance the food between meat, bones, fat and organs. For the meat itself, thighs are more nutritious than breasts. If you do not use bones and organs, you must add the supplements to replace the nutrients found there.

Agree with the others, as long as the ground raw is supplemented cats/kittens can be started on it at any age. I find kittens wean easier when they are offered raw rather than a processed cat food.
