Perhaps I should explain my method further. I find the 10# bags of legs on sale cook and debone and can them. I get 5-6 pints of meat and 8-10 pints of stock. I do start with water when I cook the chicken. I try not to keep much in the freezer because of power loss during storms.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood your earlier post (hangs head).
Since you very clearly know what you're doing, I was puzzled by (what I thought was) the use of chicken stock.
