So many feeding questions... (homemade feeds, price, where to buy, yard scraps, etc) Help!?

Avoid potato peelings if they are raw. Potato is from the Nightshade family. So is the tomato. Tomato fruit is OK for all to eat. The greens are toxic to chickens. Most chickens avoid tomato greens on their own. I know mine avoid the greens, but will wolf down the ripe tomatoes. Chickens naturally know what to select from among grass, weeds, as they free range. If they are stuck in barren run and the only thing green coming thru the run fence is a tomato plant, yes,,,,,,, they will peck on it.
I have cooked up potatoes whole, (unpeeled) as well as cooked the potato peeling and gave as chicken food. So far none developed any symptoms at all.
