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.
