Place the chicken backs and necks in a 12-quart soup pot and rinse with very hot tap water.
Drain and add the cold water to the pot, along with the other infredients.
Bring to a simmer, skimming off any foam, and cook for 2 hours.
Be sure to skim off the froth that forms when the pot first comes to a simmer.
The stock will taste a bit flat to you since it has no salt.
Salt will be added when you use the stock in the preparation of soups, sauce, pasta, or stews.
