I tried giving mine bread, but they had no idea what to do with it until I crumbled it up for them. I give them some dirt to scratch at, and a couple times a day I give them a small handful of cornmeal or ground up oatmeal, usually as I am cleaning out the brooder for the day. Now it seems they've come to expect it, because they are as noisy as possible in the morning  until I go in there. Then they settle down and zonk out.
