Has anyone ever grind a whole chicken leg, thigh, back, etc? Any issues? I prepare a BARF diet for my pets and big girls they are!

No, but it got stuck before because of ligaments. So I can only imagine what bones will do to the machine.

If the weight of the meat is uneven this can happen. Make sure it's centered in the middle of the spit. Once it works it's heaven!! We just did a prime rib in there and it was delish. Good luck with the chicken!

I personally have not had a problem with your issue, however be aware that your meats and or fats should be as close to slightly frozen as possible if not everything will be mushy!

Regarding taste of the wild dog food.. mines been eating the roasted bison/ venison version.. probably about 15 lbs so far.. has developed skin irritations.. scratching/ redness/ scabbing/ the redness along belly and inside leg "pits".. on back / near neck etc. I had mixed the food in with the last of his previous (different) dog food brand but he's been eating it exclusively now for a few weeks. I saw one posting elsewhere where a dog developed severe intestinitus after eating it and died. I switched brands tonight. My dog's a 55 lb cattle dog mix- 10 yrs old. He's never had skin issues and doesn't have fleas. He's an indoor dog.

I have only ground up pork and beef and it has never gotten stuck. I have read that others have used their grinder on chicken with bones but I have not done that.

Yes. This is an issue with chunky food. Quinoa shouldn't be an issue. I sometimes use a chopstick to help push the food down and push slowly.

Yes, I had that same issue except it started with the 1st chicken I made. When I went to make my 2nd chicken, I couldn't even get it to stay in the slots for more than a rotation or two. I sent mine back for a full refund. If you read the reviews, you will find many who had the same issue.

I made food for my Bengal, took care of most of the bones only used the one blade that was on it when I got it, had a little trouble at times, found the other blades later this was the finest grind. have not used it since as the cat did not like the food

Chicken bones - pfft. I once ground up a side of beef whole - hoof first!In fact, I leave the grinder on my garden fence, to keep the cows from getting in to my chard.

BB has puppy dog food also which gives a higher caloric intake. I know getting two different foods is a pain but it is only for a short time. I have done some study on different dog foods because one of my dogs ended up with kidney stones. What I found was that grain free is the way to go. Also making sure your dog gets plenty of water. I add a little water to there food and they at it all up within 5 mins.

Don't eat canned chicken that stuff is horrible for you! Boil your chicken shred it and you can make anything with jt

the only way i could see this working, is putting a drip pan underneath, and cooking "lollipopped chicken legs"... which is actually a good idea, i may have to try it... but the tips of a standard chicken leg would be look large for the most part i would say.

I bought this grinder just for that. Use the large grinding plate. The neck of the grinder is small so you may have to part out your chicken quarters.It grinds them up with out even slowing down. I can go through 20lbs of cut up chicken quarters in about 3 minutes with everything pre-cut. It will grind faster than you can feed it. I don't pre-freeze the quarters either and haven't had any problems grinding.

I have the same question. I'm looking for a good grinder to make my own cat food. I would like to grind up chicken thighs and also rabbit.

Yes. Without a doubt it should do a very good job of grinding chicken. Nice and powerful. Take the bones out first. Hope this helps.
