Can I feed baby formula to chickens?

[tomatomudhead]

Our baby girl needs to suppliment with a little formula, but she doesn't take much. I hate to throw away the leftover.....

Can I feed it to my chickens? Some of the formula has soy in it (baby hates that, it's all got to go), the other kind doesn't.

I have 10 egg layers (5 Barred Rock, 5 Buff Orpington).

Also have 11 Red Stars and 4 Mincoria's that are only 10 weeks old.

Was thinking of giving it to the 10 layers, not the younger birds.

Thanks,

Tom

Baby food is ok for them, but you really shouldent give them alot of it.

I'd stir up a mash made with chicken feed. Add the formula till its level with the feed and let it sit to soak it up. Mine loved it like its a treat.
