Our shelter mom does the same thing!  Except she uses a pressure cooker
to cook the chicken to death and grinds the bones into the mix as well.
I buy containers of it from her for my jills, kits and any sick kids I
might have.  It's amazing and I don't know of any ferrets that don't
like it. :O)
 
Thanks for sharing your recipe!
