Can I give my chickens some Activia yogurt?

[gritsar]

I have some that's about to expire and I'm tired of it.
I started to, but then I thought about it having Bifidus Regularis; whatever that is. I suspect it's a made up phrase.

Anyhow, can the chickens have it? I'm not sure how you could tell a chicken needs help with their regularity, but anyhow

The yogurt is very good for them! When I have waterfowl chicks that just don't seem to be getting a good start I give them yogurt and they snap right out of it.

I have given my chickens Activa and nothing has happened. I know they didn't have a problem with regularity. LOL

I give my chickens plain yogurt all the time, just have never given them this activia yogurt before.
By the way, they weren't too crazy about it. Think they would have preferred the plain stuff.

Has a lot of sugar.

Bifidus Regularis is a meaningless advertising term. Dannon can't copyright the scientific names of active yogurt cultures so they made up something catchy. I'd be more concerned about added sugars

LOL . . . yup, never known my chickens to have a problem with regularity either!

It does come in plain unsweetened. I'm guessing it is fine as a probiotic, as any other plain live culture yogurt is.
