Yes, there are very few foods chickens do not eat and enjoy. Raw potato peels are not good for them but fine if cooked. All fruits are good but rhubarb and tomato leaves can be toxic (to both chickens and humans).
Basically, anything from your table as far as food scraps is fine for chickens. I feed my chickens all the scraps from the kitchen. They are cannibals. I have found they don't like onions. I give them all my peels from vegetables to fruit....
Baby chickens should be fed small-ground chicken feed. If you only have standard chicken feed, you can grind it yourself.
If you had to feed them fruit though, they should be able to eat anything that doesn't contain somewhat large seeds (like blackberries for instance)
