How can one gets food when one gullet is directly connected to the small intestine?
Nutrients are absorbed into the body along the entire length of the digestive tract, not only through the stomach or large intestine. Shortening that tract (as is done in bypass surgeries) only lessens the amount that can be absorbed by lessening the amount of surface the food goes through. Anal-administration of substances works because of this fact.

What organ breaks up food and absorbs it?
There are various organs in the digestive system that have the function of breaking down the food that one person consumes, starting with the mouth, where teeth and saliva start the process needed to convert the food into the 'bolus', which then passes through the esophagus to the stomach, where more processing takes place, through the aid of gastric juices, finally, the processed food goes to the small and large intestine. It's in the small intestine where the nutrients of the food are absorbed into the blood.

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.
