When I lived in Germany my landlady would feed her chickens cooked peels
from her vegetables in the winter.  Those were the best eggs I ever
tasted.....  She saved the peels.  She fed them a huge variety of things.  I
don't know why she cooked the peels, possibly mildew.  I just never got
around to asking her.  Oliva

As to food, chickens are omnivores, they will eat anything from meat to
bugs to fruit to seeds.
