Actually, chickens are very opportunistic feeders like most birds. Birds that are specifically seed eaters will not typically eat animals; however, consider the vast variety of birds that eat suet. Chickens will eat anything practically. In fact it used to be a common practice at poultry farms to toss the carcasses of dead chickens into the feed bin. It was considered a bit of free protein that the other chickens did not seem to mind. Yes, chickens are even cannibalistic.
