Hi everybody
 

Good bargain. I can't usually feed my family of 4 pork without it being
over $10 just for the meat part and that's eating it in reasonable
quantities. But of course not as bad as lamb which would need a mortgage
to buy unless forequarter chops are on sale ;) Even the humble lamb
shank costs quite a bit.

Oh I missed that bit, how delicious!

Hi everybody
 

I always thought that it was the cooked chicken that was a problem for
pet, re bone splintering? I used to feed my retriever chicken and turkey
necks raw and carcasses from time to time.

Hi everybody
 

they need to be uber cooked, and i think the bones are a bit different, if
you want to give a pet bird bones in general they must be cooked to flat out
mush, so mushy that when you touch them they disintrigrate... I do neither
because i had a dog guide that swallowed a wooden popcycle stick and at the
last turn got a splinter that punctured his intestimes, so no bones cooked
at all for me, but i do use them to make broth and cook to mush then strain
as when they are mush the calcium in the broth is a good thing, Lee

We used to kill our own chickens and I'm pretty sure my mother would
have used the feet for something. I know my brother once put a chicken
foot in each hand and pulled his jumper sleeves down a little so it
looked like he had chicken feet for hands. He brought the feet around
the front of a girl's face in class who he was sitting behind :)
Surprisingly he never got expelled. In later years chickens were quite
cheap to buy so mum gave up growing them but she was very upset when
they stopped putting a bag full of giblets that they use to stuff in the
cavity when commercial chickens became popular. Next to go with
commercial chickens was the neck. I think if they had got rid of the
parson's nose she would have been apoplectic ;)

Hi everybody
 

for a while there was no meat at my stores under 2 bucks a pound including
chicken and neckbones etc..was sad..
