I second that. Chickens are omnivores. My mum keeps a few chickens for eggs and when she gives them meal-worms for a treat sometimes they go absolutely crazy for them.

Chickens naturally peck about for worms, insects, seeds, etc...

Chickens and/or pigs used to be how one dealt with food scraps that couldn't go back into the field/garden. After first using them to make broth or whatever, if possible. A recycling system that turns garbage into food.
