My wife used to work for AlliedSignal (pre-Honeywell) and was on the test team for their AS900.
They did ingestion tests using THAWED chickens. As a matter of fact, "back in the day" the engineers used to canvass the area and ask farmers for any extra LIVE chickens they might have. The practice fell into disuse when the farmers found out what their surplus chickens were being used for.
My wife also designed an "ice flinger" that would ramp ice blocks into the engine intake. Don't remember the dimensions of the ice blocks but it was surprisingly significant (much bigger than ice cubes you put in your drink).
