You can feed chickens most anything you would eat. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/chicken-treat-chart-the-best-treats-for-backyard-chickens
That's a thread already started with some good information on it.

Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you joined us! It is best for chickens to eat a properly formulated feed, but you can feed them a lot of other things (vegetables, grain, other scraps, etc.) You could even let them free range, if you have the room.
