They were feeding them BRAINS!
Cattle get Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE, "Mad Cow Disease") from eating feed that is contaminated with the Prion protein not from eating beef by-products or brains.
BSE is a Prion Disease (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy, TSE)...
You can TRY to prevent it, you will never really prevent it.
Chickens will be the omnivore that they are, and will eat anything that doesn't eat them first....
It is a law that is completely ignored, I know a few people that raise poultry over in the UK and they feed animal proteins, fats and table scraps all the time..
Also I don't know if you meant it hypothetically or theoretically speaking but there are no wild chickens, there can be farrow...
