Has anyone given their chickens a turkey carcass and let them pick it clean?

The only thing I am worried about is them choking on small bones.
 
I give mine chicken and turkey carcasses and worry also that the small bones will choke them since they attack it with such mindless frenzy

(sp?) but so far so good. I quess that it could happen but so can a lot of other things so I'll still feed it to them and just keep an eye on them.
 
My mom works at a school that had thanksgiving lunch on Tuesday. My birds get the leftovers.

There are 2 turkey carcesses(bones only now) out there that I need to pick up. They cleaned them over yesterday and today.

They will get the same a week or so before Christmas.

Warning: I do not give them anything high in salt like ham. I lost 2 girls two years ago when they pigged out on a Xmas ham. A couple weeks later they started shown signs of ascites(heart failure). It was the result of salt poisoning.
