scratch is a mix of cracked corn, oats, and usually millet. Chickens love it and the corn is good for them in winter, but don't feed them too much of it, use it as a treat since it doesn't have too much nutritional value. You scatter it on the floor and the chickens love to 'scratch" for it. You can pick up a bag of scratch wherever you get your feed.
