Buying Bulk Chicken for Dog

Hi
Hope someone might be able to offer some advice. I am looking for somewhere to source, on a regular basis, a bulk supply of ideally chicken wings, chicken necks, turkey necks and maybe the odd lamb ribs and marrow bones.
These need to be free-range chickens and turkeys and if anyone has any suggestions as to somewhere close to Basel or even further away I would be grateful.
This is something that I need for my dogs food and have struct a brick wall when approaching the local meat counters.
Even if I can only get chicken wings this would be sufficient for now.
Does anyone know of a large bulk butcher or chicken (free-range) farm that might be able to help me out?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Buying Bulk Chicken for Dog

That's a tough one. But, I do know of some BIO egg farms, when the hens stop laying they are sent off, 3000 or more at a time, to pet food factories.

I would suggest looking for a small BIO egg farm in your area and offering to buy the non-laying hens. Only problem is you would probably have to dispatch them your self - and if you haven't done this before, I can tell you from experience, it is NOT easy!
