In my experience it's only when smaller chicks are fed. I haven't experienced this when feeding larger chickens. In fact, I get nice poop/feather bundles that makes cleaning a breeze if I'm lucky. I'll get a picture next time.

If I am not mistaken chickens are lower in protein, fat and calcium(hallow bones) compared to rats/mice but I wouldn't know if feeding a snake exclusively chicken would cause any nutrient deficiency.
