I am thinking it depends on what you were asking the chickens to return to you? Just keep themselves feathered, make lots of eggs, flesh out a nice carcass? Protein and digestible protein are two different things in plants. So, just because the plant has a certain level, does not mean the animal can use it all in every state. I use whole grains when I do use grains- the other livestock get a whack at them, and pass undigested bits out- and the chickens get them at that stage- but I do not use those strains of wheat specifically
I would be interested in hearing how it goes
I hear turkeys do really well with threshing too
