Does this grind up chicken bones? If so, how good a job does it do?

a piece of advise don't buy this unit it's a cheap kind of materials. this might work at first but for sure you will be just wasting your money cause it wont last very long. price might be attractive but before you know it youd realize your money is just wasted.

It's funny that the product pictures show chicken wings (bone in) loaded in the feed tray and some meat ground so one would assume that this grinder can grind bones. Why are you tricking customers into thinking this product grinds bones when you say it won't.

This really depends more on your mixer than the attachment. Grinding bones is hard work and will strip the transmission gears of most any consumer-grade stand mixer. If you're going to grind bones, get the best dedicated meat grinder you can afford.

I never tryed to grind poltry bones, it can damage the Sharp of the blades, if you are gonna grind bones i recomend to cook bones previously until them become smoth!! good luck buddy! :)

I'd say many or most grinders can grind chicken & rabbit bones with meat. I do so for making cat food. This one should do. I've talked to people that say they grind chicken bones very well even tho the instructions advise against it. Turkey bones is harder to do, and forget beef bones unless you have a big expensive unit.

Does a great job for grinding meat. Not sure about bones...will possibly dull the blades.

It grinds to approximately dime size, and yes, it grinds eggshells. I grind a lot of broccoli stalks, and did cabbage lately, so it works well.

I have used it to grind chicken and turkey, with bones, to make raw pet food. No problems whatsoever! I am sure it will do the job for you!

Yes, it does a good job, but make sure that you keep an eye on how fine you wish to chop/grind them! It's a personal choice. Hope this helps.

I only used it for grinding small amounts but I found it did a great job. It comes apart easy for cleaning and did not find it hard to clean.

Yes it will. We used it to grind chicken for a sick puppy and it grinds legs bone and all very well. It ground about 90 pounds of chicken until the puppy was well enough to be put back on regular food.

I don't think it will work with chicken bones because the part that moves the meat to the blade is made of hard plastic.

Yes!!! Most assuredly! I haven't used it for grinding bones as stated it will do, but it hasn't slowed down with any of the wild game I have thrown in it. I would buy another tomorrow! I love, love it.

Of course it will do great. We even use it to grind whole chickens, bones and all, for dog food.

It's easy to clean. I think you'd need a more heavy-duty machine for grinding bones and nuts. This unit has some trouble getting through cartilage or sinewy cuts.

I use it for the same purpose --grinding whole chickens for our dogs. It's not bad to clean it. Comes apart easily and I put what I can in the dishwasher.

We bought it for our daughter's family who live in Alaska. They use it for grinding moose, caribou, and bear meat for burger. So they do not grind any bone in with their meat. The clean up is good, because it is all stainless steele so they don't worry about it rusting.
