You can feed them left overs, but keep in mind that salty food and too much salt is very bad for chickens. Give them cooked rice and other starchy foods as a treat now and then and small amounts, so the bulk of their diet is still their chick crumbs. Also give them some grit when feeding anything other than chick crumbs to help them break the food down. If you cannot find chick grit sprinkle some clean, coarse sand over their food.
