Chickens and Lead Paint

Another question I figured would be best to ask separately... Our home is over 150 years old. Paint chips have peeled off and are in the grass mostly directly around the house. We plan on either repainting or residing. The paint chips tested positive for lead.
Would the chickens eat the paint chip and transfer lead to the eggs?
