cheese

I would restrict the amount I give them. My girls get the runs from too much yogurt and I suspect that would be true for cheese also.

However, if it is actually a processed cheese product slice, I would keep it away from chickens and humans. That stuff is a polymer that resembles laundry detergent more than cheese.

My understanding of it was that chickens don't have the enzymes in their stomach to required digest dairy, and so it can lead to problems. That said, I give mine yoghurt all the time and it does no harm at all!

I'd have done the same thing. Chickens will eat most ANYTHING!!!
No since of letting that sandwich go to waste.

My father used to refer to the chickens as "land crabs" meaning that they will eat anything. I don't think an occasional scrap of sand wich will hurt them. We feed our chickens all the scraps from the table every night, doesn't seem to bother them.

I have a chicken book/guide that lists cheese as a remedy for ill/sick chickens who wont eat:
"Cheese - A favorite treat among most chickens and will help stimulate hunger."

but I second that if its that kraft singles fake cheese product, that they should not be eating it. Or anyone for that matter.

I wouldn't make it a regular thing with them but dont think a little cheese will do them no harm. Say what you will about a chicken they know what thy like and what they dont. What they dont like is not much.Carrots are not a favorite with my girls but eventually they eat them. Mine would rather drink out of a muddy puddle than the ice cold water I provide,so smart yet so dumb. I wait on them hand and foot ,maybe I'm the dumb one?

My girls, when they were about 12 weeks old, had a big chunk of cheese, and didn't have any problem with it. However, that was about 1/4 pound of cheddar cheese between 27 chickens. They'll be fine I'm guessing, just don't give it to them all the time.

I admit I love kraft fake cheese. It melts nicely for grilled cheese. I can't stand real cheese on a grilled cheese sandwich-it melts funky IMO. However, if I was giving chickens cheese it would probably be the real stuff.

Our chickens eat all kinds of scraps, including the occasional chunks of moldy cheese. There's no problem with it. I don't know who started this idea that dairy wasn't good for chickens. The literature I'VE read RECOMMENDS dairy as a great source of food for chickens, especially for those people who have access to dairy animals or leftover whey from a creamery, etc...

Chickens can eat almost anything, as part of a varied diet--that's what originally made them such a popular animal to raise for food, and it is still one of their greatest virtues as livestock on family farms and in backyards around the world...
