Mine do not eat lettuce or apple but will demolish most fruit and veg. Their tastes do change as they get older. Young grass and chickweed  are my hens  favourite greens. :)

Mine hate cabbage but had a phase of broccoli being their favourite, they also love water melon its funny being near them as they slurp and get in a complete mess! :D

I wouldnt worry about it, have they got access to grass, most hens are more than happy just to have grass, if you havnt you could try and grow some grass in trays and feed it to them.   My girls absoutley love cabbage, corn is gone in seconds, i have them some marrow last week, that went down well, they love tomatoes aswell but only occassionly.   Im lucky that mine have alot of grass to peck at.  nickyx
