Sorry your having a hard time, I know how it feels, it is important to get them eating some bone. The ground eggs shells are used by home cookers for calcium but as they are cooked they really are not anywhere near as good as raw bone.
Chicken bones are usually the most accepted at first, because they are the softest and easiest for them to eat. I remember when I started it took me a good couple of weeks of persistence to get 2 of mine to eat lamb bones. Turkey necks do have cartilage but also a decent amount of bone down the middle, you can tell that from my video of Indy crunching through them lol.
If they really don't want to eat them tonight then you can take a hammer to the chicken wings and basically smash the bone up and give them to them like that, they will then be softer. Its not ideal because there is then no dental benefit but its a way of getting bone into them. From there you could smash them up less and less until they are eating them properly. Hopefully they will take to the chicken tonight without you having to do that though.
There are always tough times when you start feeding raw, its a big change for both you and them, but eventually it will all fall into place.
