It is always best to think about how many wings you could eat rather than weights.I should have taught that 4 wings per person would have been OK that would make 280 wings - and add a bit more for the greedy people say 300 wings.

about how many chicken wings come in a case of wings that is 40lbs
I guess asking how many pounds is a bit hard to figure out, but since chicken wings are kind of small, I would recomend three chicken wings per person. That would mean, 30 chicken wings. However, if their larger, I would recomend 1 or 2 per person. --- If you are talking about chicken wings for Buffalo Wings, then 3 chicken wings per person will not be nearly enough. you would need on the average 10 per person. I have never seen anyone eat just 3 hot wings....
One chicken for 3 people = 183 chickens.

Are there side dishes? If all you are eating is chicken, each person may want three pieces, so you will need 90 pieces. But if there are side dishes then one piece per person should suffice. A chicken has a back, two legs, two wings, two breasts, and sometimes the wishbone is cut out separate from the breast, making about seven pieces per bird. Five chickens gives you 35 pieces, so you might have some leftovers. If chicken is all that is on the menu, you might want to butcher about ten birds.
