When free range they will eat almost anything small enough to get down. When i am shoeing horses i often have chickens, cocks etc.. eating the hoof filings that comes from the horses hooves along with grit, bread and yes - horse muck, or should i say the undigested grain embedded in it.

Chickens will eat styrofoam, paper, cat food, anything small enough to get down including rocks, paint, slugs, ants, grass, tin foil, rubber bands, and everything else.

Don't know about turkeys, but chickens are omnivorous...they eat anything. I've cleaned fish and thrown the entrails into them and they loved them. Also witnessed an unlucky mouse get henned. They pulled it in two directions, skinning it alive, then fought over the pieces.
