Presumably that's not the case though for children (still under construction) and women (periodic loss/demolition)?

You can't feed anything to any farm animal (even if kept as a pet and including poultry) that has passed through a room used for food preparation (k*tch*n) whether the foodstuff is raw or cooked. It results in a fine and up to 2 years in prison if caught and prosecuted.

Can anyone explain the reasoning behind such rigid control of feeding chickens?

My ROT of 1g per kg per day max. is more than enough for adults. Here's hard figures.

There is no reason. The regs were brought in during the BSE scare. HMG wanted to "be seen to be doing something". I thought they'd been recinded, but apparently not.
