And they often do better with mineral blocks which include what raw
foodists would consider non-foods (free minerals, mollasis, etc.).

And modern chicks usually do better with grain supplements (sometimes
including borderline stuff) even if allowed to forage.

We, too, are a domesticated animal and that may have changed some of the
nutritional rules for some of us.
