I wouldn't suggest that. Kitties tummies are really sensitive when they are young. I'd wait on table food for awhile...

I found a little kitten that had been dumped on a camping once while I was on my holidays. It was only about 4 weeks old at the time I found her. Because she was very hungry and the shops were closed we had to invent something to give to her. We gave her some cold pieces of chicken. She turned 10 this summer.
I don't think it should hurt if you give your kitten some chicken every now and then, even when she might be a bit young for it. Whatever you do don't give it chicken bones. The cats I know love eating the bones. In nature a cat would eat almost anything that runs or flies around, like mice and birds. Cats are tough, and so are their stomachs.
To be sure what's good for your kitten and what's not though I think you should go and ask your vet. He/She will know all about it and might also have a schedule with what cats need in the different stages of their life.

You can feed a 6 week old kitten chicken. Just make sure you feed it really really really small peices and make sure there are no bones in it. Watch it to when it eats. Just don't sit there and keep giving it chicken. You needed good dry kitten food, chicken can be a snack every now and then.
Hope I was of some help.

I think its a bit young for chicken at 6 weeks, I'd try it on kitten food first and then when its older its teeth are biger it should eat the chicken then.

Nope don't do it. She may want some, but at this stage she's just to immature to handle it. Table food really is not good for your cat. When she is an adult you might give her a bite of chicken now and then as long as its not spicy.
Also, if you start giving table food this young, your cat will beg you for food at EVERY MEAL. Not too fun and quite aggravating to have a cat stand over your plate every time you eat.
Once she is old enough for the occational bite of fresh chicken,
put it in her food bowl. Do not let your cat eat from the table or even from your hands or beside your chair. (They learn bad habits fast)

Not really, you should give him/her kitten food and kitten milk for about a month as it is specially formulated for their delicate tums, after your kitten has got used to that it will be fine to give him/her normal cat food and chicken. You shouldnt feed your cat entirely on chicken though as it doesnt have all the vitamins and minerals your cat will need.

no, you should give it special kitten food and cat milk,from the supermarket not cows milk.
if you give it chicken you will make it really poorly as its not mature enough to cope with it yet.
it would be like giving a 3mth old baby chicken nuggets

It wouldn't hurt to give her a little bit, but not to much cause she is still growing...its ok to feed cats chicken bones, cause they are very careful eaters, and will not eat the bone, but I would never recomend giving dogs chicken bones cause it could end up doing harm.
I always gave my cat just a little for bonding purposes, but not to much
