Chicken quarter legs are out of price lately but turkey wings are very afordable at the moment.
I still have chicken neck but will run out of legs in a few days can I trade them for turkey wings? Turkey drumstick are also on sale but seem too big and too meaty to me.

The meat to bone ratio is too low on wings. You would need to feed more muscle meat to balance out the bone.
Some people will feed turkey drumsticks with no problems, but I don't feed them. I keep weight bearing bones limited to chicken leg qtrs & not huge ones. I keep to the fryer size & not the oven stuffer/larger size, but my dogs are on the smaller side. (65# & 78#)
Can you get whole chickens at a good price for the interum & just feed the breast qtr one day & the leg qtr the next. I don't know what is available in your area.

Wings I use quite a bit if I can find them on sale at a competitive price. Just add grind or other meat to balance the meal.
Really anything that is fully consumed and digested will work as a RMB and it is individual to each dog sometimes based on size and sometimes digestion habits. My lab can eat turkey legs and produce a perfect turd at the end, while my papillons struggle to consume a thigh bone from a moderate size chicken.
I don't know how rural your area is, but if you have access to some farm classifieds (even craigslist), sometimes you can find some older hens for little to nothing. The quality is comparable if not better than what you would find in the store. It is not a fun job to "process" them, but the price is right!
