Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I don't have apple maggots here so I can't answer with certainty. But if they are creepy crawlies and the chickens can catch them, they'll eat them.

Hi! Welcome to BYC! We're glad you joined us! Chickens are great fun and eat all sorts of bugs, any they can find and swallow. They'll also love the apples that fall from the tree.
