"Kibble" is pretty broad. Some companies actually just use deboned meat (chicken, lamb, beef, whatever) in the process whereas other "chicken and rice" formulas are just some weird "extract" but they can still technically label it as chicken and rice.

Orijen and their sister company (can't remember the name for the life of me) can actually trace exactly where all their products come from. IIRC, they get all of their poultry from a couple local (to them) operations. They're more strict about this than many human centric food brands.
But yes, chicken quarters + organs is pretty okay for dogs, especially working dogs. They won't get ALL the vitamins, etc., they need but they're getting most.

Yes, the marrow especially inside of them is very good for their health. Cooked bones will splinter and choke them to death almost certainly. The raw bones don't do that.
