Chickens in general can eat almost any veggi or fruit. Besides uncooked potatoes, it is poisonous to them. We gave ours cabbage and lettuce all the time and they loved it!

So far I've given my new hatchlings some bread, lettuce, organic jam (just a dot), grass and fresh herbs.

I haven't tried this with mine yet (they are only a week old) but I've heard mealworms and cooked eggs are great treats! You just have to be careful to give them some chick grit if you're giving treats to assure they can digest them properly.
