I think you are forgetting that chickens are omnivorous and really are not
difficult to feed. They eat most anything including vegetable scraps, meat
scraps, stale and old bread as well as grain. Our chickens were very much
free range but their diet was always supplemented with kitchen scraps and a
handful or two of grain. The ratio of marketable body weight to grain fed is
remarkably high when applied to poultry as opposed to pigs or beef.
