No chicken pox in humans does not come from chickens.
I don’t know your resources if you are even able to find chicken feed in your country.
I believe that cracked corn And scraps do not hold enough nutrients for complete health. You sound like you feed a lot of animals so I understand. Do you feed grains to any of them? That would be helpful to the chickens. In winter protein is hard to come by (no bugs) do you get any eggs? Could you give up some eggs for the chickens? Scramble them (cook) and feed them back to the chickens it’s a excellent source of protein. Keep the dogs away because they’ll love them too.
Feeding bread on a regular basis can lead to crop problems. Can you cook some rice? Oatmeal or oat bran (just dried no cooking)
Sunflower seeds offer protein and fat which are needed in winter do they sell bulk bags of them in your country? Here they are fairly cheap.
