Money can probably buy them food more efficiently; perhaps they'd
prefer something other than lots and lots of chicken :-)  And if they
are indeed mishandled, then there's a nontrivial chance that the
chicken you use will end up treifa in a way that you won't find out
about in time to do another one.  The answer to that one is not to
mishandle them.
