KB, I don't think regular chicken feed from the hardware store is what you want unless you want to eat your pet later on.
If i remember correctly, the feed they have for chickens, turkeys, etc, is a mix made to primarily to fatten the bird up for eating. If you want to keep the chicken around (and not eat it) I'd look at a pet supply store for a feed similar they have for people who keep pigeons. My dad has racing pigeons and if you want I can get in touch with him and ask him what he feeds them.
