Chickens are very active birds. When they are not sleeping or setting they eat. They will peck at everything hoping it is food and even when it is not they will keep pecking at it hoping there is food within. If you watch them carefully they often peck something not edible and toss it away. Chickens live by the rule "if it moves, grab it before another chicken does"
