Most human food is OK to feed chickens.

Feed as a treat not as the only source, chickens need certain vitamins and minerals to produce eggs and stay healthy. Chicken feed and laying MASH have added nutrients they need.

Fruit of any kind is welcome at the chicken dinner table.They might not eat the banana skins but the pulp is gobbled up quickly.

Do not start feeding young chicks table scraps too early as they have smaller crops and should be on chick starter until about 4 months old.

Some exceptions to this are raw potato skins/rhubarb/tomato leaves. These have chemicals that can be bad for the chickens. Some of these reduce the amounts of calcium the chicken needs.

Do different breeds of chickens get along?

There is a pecking order in every flock. The younger chicks will be picked on by the older ones for a while. They may even keep them away from the food. You can give the chicks a place to eat and hide by putting a piece of plywood on some bricks. Once they're grown, they'll have their chance to even the score.

The turkey is. It is also recommended, as turkey chicks don't know how to pickup seeds or bird food from the ground, so they imitate other chicken chicks. Guineas are another fowl that live very well with chickens. In fact, guinea hens will often serve as an alarm, screeching when a predator comes near the flock.
