Bran alone would be too light for an exclusive feed, besides it would not be in line with nature to feed nothing else. The craw is a grinding mill and we must keep it at work. The different grains would not be a perfect chick feed alone; grass, insects and dozens of things we hardly think of, goes towards completing the natural wants. Fowls on free range usually find these extra knick knacks, but penned up fowls or fowls in winter must have their equivalent in some form, or they cannot do the very best.
