Poultry is regularly prepared whole. Thanksgiving turkey, Peking duck, and simple roast chicken. A Cornish hen can easily be polished off by one person. Chicken eggs are regularly consumed. There isn't anything weird about Balut, just that it's unique.
You'd carve the meat off the turkey, after removing its innards. The bones might be used for broth later, they certainly wouldn't be eaten at the same time.
It's not typical to eat the bones, muscle, and offal together.
