After doing further testing, I found that random entities does work, but not with Custom Entity Models, when using CEM all of my Chickens seem to be forced to use the base CEM texture (And if the CEM texture is removed, their model turns solid black and purple)

this is not an issue and is just how it works.

removing the cem texture is not enough, you will also need to remove the "texture" line from the model, and then it should work fine
