Roosters need a new home...

Sounds delicious Baymule but while I give all other bones to my dogs, I don't give them chicken bones which are more apt to splinter and require an emergency trip to the vet when they puncture their insides. I do save off all the gristle and other less edible pieces though, and the dogs get those. Actually, I just did an old hen yesterday and crock potted her all day until the meat was falling off her bones. I then divided the meat into one container, the bones into the trash and the little bits that were safe for the dogs, I kept in another bowl. Last night I took the bowl outside and threw the contents into the air so they scattered all over the place. The dogs had a great time on their "chicken scrap hunt" and it kept them busy for awhile, using their noses to search out every last little morsel

If you put those chicken bones back on the stove to cook down more, they will become a soft, mushy material -- much like overcooked rib bones. Those I feed to my animals. I figure there must be some nutrients in the now soft bone material and there is much less in the garbage.

I have big dogs and those chicken bones don't stand a chance. GULP! CHOMP! GONE!
