It stinks because out west there are plenty of chicken feet available in grocery stores, probably because of the high mexican population who use chicken feet in certain dishes.

In DC I could never find any

This may be several months too late to be helpful, but we sell pasture-raised, non-gmo chicken backs (neck attached) and feet at our farm store in Marshall, VA. www.livingpasturesfarm.com

Baldorfood.com sells it in bulk for home delivery ( in not in VA so check delivery area).

Fields of Athenry Farm. You can buy at their farm store/restaurant or they do home deliveries.

We’ve gotten chicken necks from the butcher shop on Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray —Let’s Meat on the Avenue

I just use the carcass from our roast chickens that I collect in the freezer. I don’t think the parts matter very much.

Go to a halal butcher. They sell all the parts.

Mom’s on Mt. Vernon sells soup bones

Go to bestway at telegraph & 495. They will have all of that.

You might check Eastern Market in DC. You could also buy a whole chicken. When I cook chicken in my Instant Pot, it creates a lovely broth — with zero extra effort.

OP here. Thank you for all your tips and answers. I will look around.

Some Whole Foods have backs in the freezer. And you can’t go wrong with wings or legs in a pinch. The Asian grocers sell necks and feet and all of that, but I am always a little concerned about the industrial breeding…

Farmers markets usually sell packs for $3 or so. It’s so much better than store bought!

I do, but I just use a cut up whole chicken. I really don't miss the feet and neck or other various parts.

I usually buy bone broth from more expensive brands like Bare Bones, but they are expensive and home made chicken broth is so much better. I have a great recipe for home made chicken broth that uses chicken carcass, chicken feet, chicken wings, chicken necks, chicken backs ( and of course other vegetable and spice ingredients). I live in Alexandria, VA and cannot find chicken necks, feet, backs in any of the stores like Whole Foods, Safeway, Costco. Does any of you make home made chicken broth?
