1.5 lb is a lot of chicken per dog.
A dog only needs to be fed 2% of its weight in raw per day, and 1.5 lb = 24 oz of chicken (let alone the other items you plan to add).
Here is a basic matrix to feed approximately 2% of each dog’s body weight daily:
20 lb dog: 6.4 oz.
25 lb dog: 8.0 oz.
30 lb dog: 9.6 oz.
35 lb dog: 11.2 oz.
40 lb dog: 12.8 oz.
45 lb dog: 14.4 oz.
50 lb dog: 16.0 oz.
55 lb dog: 17.6 oz.
60 lb dog: 19.2 oz.
If you have a 40 lb dog, you're doubling the amount of food it needs to be fed. That might be okay if you live in a cold climate, but in order to feed your dogs the correct amount of raw feed, you will need two scales: one scale on which to weigh your dogs and the other scale to weight their feed.
