Best Answer

Chickens LOVE all kinds of leftovers, and it's actually a nice supplement to their diet. Most foods do not affect the taste of the eggs. Chickens will even eat rotten and moldy food without a problem. Make sure you research what kinds of foods are poisonous to chickens though; not many are, but there are certain plants they can't eat. Food waste is a supplement to their diet though: they shouldn't live off of it as they probably won't be getting the proper nutrition.
