Obviously, chickens as a species are suited in general to eating huge varieties of food, but just thought this was worth a mention just in case - in dogs, certain individuals can be extremely sensitive to some component of grape seeds/skin, to the point where quite a number(mostly smaller dogs as far as I know) have died from multiple organ failure after eating not very many grapes (yes, sometimes seedless grapes, as they do have small, soft seeds sometimes) or raisins(raisins being dried grapes).
I'm guessing that chickens are much better able to process fruits and seeds, so this would not be an issue with them, but just thought I'd throw it out to y'all. From the tag lines, many of us chicken folks also have dogs, so it's a good thing to know either way.
Sorry for going a bit off-topic, but thought it was worth mentioning.
