Nah, I've seen these optimized breeds wader around, they will scratch and peck their outdoor enclosures nearly bare looking for bugs to eat. They are still chickens at the end of the day, as long as they are healthy enough to move around. It's kind of like thinking modern breeds of cow would lose the ability to eat grass or pigs to forage. That stuff is hard-wired pretty deep because it is at the very core of survival.
