I am not advocating this, but...

With a large enough amount of chickens, eventually they will eat it all.

I had about 20 or so near my house and they "cleaned" the back of some
waste EPS insulated wall board which was in my front garden for a few
months. I mentioned this to the owner, when they started at it. He was
quite unperturbed and just said "oh they eat anything".

They did not seem to suffer any adverse effects BTW and were eventually
seen off by foxes about a year later.

Alex.

I'm glad to hear the foxes got them.

You wouldnt catch me eatin them there chickens!

Would look interesting to see the look on peoples faces if it were made a
feature at the local supermarket. A sort of candid camera stunt.

It would make a nice change from the usual organic free range or corn fed
chickens.

I'm sure someone would buy them!!!
