A friend used to feed only chickens to his burmese and never experience problems. They were adult birds, feathers and all.
I remember hearing of one corn breeder (the one who started this site, maybe) who raised snakes on only chicken parts. The memory is a bit fuzzy and might not be complete.
Most feeders have differing nutrition with age. As they grow the bones and gut content increase and offer more. I know you can buy older chicks/small chickens from some places*, I would try to do that if possible.
Please add in the usual disclaimers -- I'm not an expert, keep checking for more information from other sources, too.
*such as the place that is a Pro with Rodents, if you catch my drift.
