Can chickens eat other food than seeds and corn?

[Girly White Silkie]

I saw a video of chickens eating chicken nuggets and I thought "Do chickens eat chickens?"

As far as I know chickens should not eat nuggets.. Neither should humans really.

Chickens can eat egg, egg shell and some people feed back a few of the organs from their processed chickens.
They can eat most table scraps like vegetables, fruit, bread etc but fatty and salty junk food is no good and they are lactose intolerant. Although a lot of people advocate cultured yoghurt and report benefits and no adverse effects.

Yes well they "can" eat it and will eat it but no you should not give it to them.

Chickens are omnivores. They eat a wide diversity of things- grass, clover, seeds, berries, grain, fruits, vegetables, insects, meat, eggs, small rocks (aids digestion), egg/oyster shell (for calcium), etc. There are some things that are potentially dangerous that they shouldn't eat, but their potential diet is as wide as humans.

Do they also eat parsley?
