'roughage' Aka fibre is a complex carbohydrate know as cellulose, found in vegetables. Human bodies don't create the enzyme needed to break the complex carb into simple molecules that can be used, therefore it is just passed through us (some animals do create this enzyme, hence why cows can eat grass).

Why are chickens not able to digest large amount of roughages?
Animals that digest roughage and thrive need to have large complex stomachs and digestive systems like cows or sheep where the food (roughage) can spend a long time, being broken down by enzymes and bacterial actions and the nutrients extracted. The digestive system of a chicken is not very big, it is designed for food that has nutrients ready to be absorbed. So any roughage in the digestive system will be eliminated from the body before any nutrients can be extracted. But roughage although not a very nutrient rich item for the chicken is good for cleaning out the digestive system, just like for people.
