(was Molting and wind eggs)A chicken is an omnivore (omni, meaning everything) and will eat most anything that doesn't eat it first. If you let some chickens free range and eat what they choose and watch closely for a while you will be amazed. Grass, plants, seeds, baby birds, grain, bugs, worms, fruits, mice, toads, nuts, snakes, eggs shells, berries, meat off dead animals, garden vegetables, etc. are all on the menu and gobbled up at will. I'm sure I've missed some of the things I've seen my chickens eat but you get the idea. That large feed company that promotes feed "made from natural plant-based ingredients FREE of all animal proteins and fats" is just wrong.
