    How often can I feed yogurt to my chickens?

    I mix a small 6oz sugar free low or zero fat yogurt with a couple of broccoli heads that I've pulverized in my ninja. The chickens go crazy for it but I only give it to them about once a month I don't want to give them to much dairy. I have 3 roosters and 17 hens.
