Butchers sell chicken feet, chicken necks, chicken carcasses, bones, and pigs ear, beef tracheas are on ebay or at pet shops.

Because of the tough cartilage/bones in these things they cant be eaten raw, and have to be cooked. Chicken feet only take 30 mins or so in an air fryer or oven or in medium temp water to become edible. I'm expermenting with cooking methods for the other things. One way is make a broth of them- put them in slow cooker with water, and leave for 48 hours. Or in a pressure cooker only takes a few hours.

I usually make a big pot of chicken bones with water, salt and chopped ginger. This year I use a lot of chicken wings. I cut them up with the garden scissors. And I skim the surface, when the foul looking scum is there.

Drink some of the broth with hot water thrice a day.

Nice. I had used a slow cooker to make a bone broth with but it took 2-3 days which is too slow so I am about to buy a pressure cooker, and will try it in that. Hopefully it only takes a few hours in that.
