CHICKEN BACKS 10 LBS

These Chicken Backs (10 lbs) are a practical, high-collagen poultry product commonly used for making rich chicken stock or as a raw feeding component for pets. Chicken backs contain a high proportion of bone, connective tissue, and residual meat, making them well suited for long simmering or grinding applications.

This is a functional product intended for extraction, supplementation, or preparation rather than standalone cooking.
