Very cool, thank you! I have a couple of old birds in the freezer I can practice on. They are going to be broth for me and shredded dog food balls (with coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and brown rice).

I've recommended the Oxo's before. They are inexpensive, easy to clean, highly functional. Nor are Molpet and I alone in that recommend. NYT, America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country, Alton Brown, and many others all rate them highly.

Great, I'll look for them. Amazon?

Or Target, Walmart, Kroger, Bed Bath and Beyond. They're all over where I live.

We have a WM but I don't think they carry it. I'll try Amazon.

I was actually pleased with the development of the drumsticks on these. Making them get up and exercise is a good strategy. They don't want to as their bodies are so heavy, and you can tell it's awkward and difficult for them. They walk spraddle-legged; they waddle, actually. But I scatter a little scratch and worms for them, and encourage them to come get it. Some do, others are too lethargic. Those I encourage with gentle prods of my cane. Once on their feet, they do head for the goodies.
