I made BobC's chicken gravy for the first time a couple weeks ago.  I
borrowed an old fashioned hand cranked meat grinder from a friend.  I cut
the whole chicken into normal serving size pieces and put them through the
grinder.  Even a whole chicken leg only needed a little extra force to
grind it up.  After cooking and adding the other ingredients, I put the
whole thing in the blender in batches and whipped it up to further
pulverize the bones.  The blender handled it just fine.  There are just a
few bone shards left that the ferrets leave at the bottom of the bowl.
 
I mixed some at first with my regular duck soup to get the kids used to the
new taste/texture.  Now they all love it straight.  Belle, my almost 7 year
old insulinomic/adrenal girl has gained weight and energy.
 
After that success, I bought an old meat grinder from ebay for $7 plus
shipping.  They have lots of similar grinders up for auction.  Just search
on "meat grinder".
