Certainly. You can use heart from any animal you can get. One variation of the soup recipe used on the forum lists chicken hearts in units instead of ounces, it would be one ounce of heart and one ounce of liver for each eight ounces of muscle meat, along with 1/2 to 3/4 tsp of egg shell or bone meal.

Ok cool. And what is considered a "muscle meat"? Like a chicken thigh? I feel dumb lol
And can they snack on chicken wings just to see if they like it?

A muscle meat is any meat without bone in it.
Bone in Meat = exactly that, meat with bones (drumsticks, thighs, neck, ribs, etc).
Muscle Meat = boneless meat (stay away from breast meat though as it is low in fat).

If it helps, you can also use ground meat as the muscle meat ingredient in the soup. Saves some blender work..

Lately I have not been making big batches of soup. I have been cutting up whole game hen (bone in all) and putting it in my magic bullet with the heart and liver with enough hot water to make it soup.
The bullet seems to chop up the bones pretty good. Albeit I am cutting of the bone pretty small to start with.
I figured since I am including the bone that I do not need to add egg shell powder or bone meal.

You can use ground turkey, but some meats are harder to find unseasoned when they are ground up. Turkey is one of these problem ones in my area, almost every brand of it is seasoned or treated with saline/tenderizing solution. Ground beef is easy to find unadulterated, some brands of ground pork are OK. I've seen ground chicken before, but not often.
