I have seen recipes for mixtures to feed chickens, but was under the 
impression that these were "last meals", or last week of meals meant to 
fatten the bird and/or to clean out any off flavor that may get into the 
meat from a foraging diet. Or, perhaps in hopes of fattening up that raggedy 
old hen into something worth cooking.

Oh, sources.  I've been reading Digby and Markham so I'm guessing that's the 
place I read this.  I'm at work without the books, so I can't look to be 
sure.
