Can I give this to my chickens?

my chickens love fruit and I heard that they love yogurt also. it won't hurt them to try it. If they like it, you found a new treat for your chickens.

 

A lot of 'yogurts' have more sugar than probiotics...read the ingredients.

I don't think a lot of sugar is good for them....but as an occasional treat it won't hurt them.

 

I buy 'vegetarian' yogurt in a large container from Costco. My 4 hens LOVE yogurt and lick the plate clean. My thought is that the probiotic and calcium is good for them. They also get a large handful of spinach and mung bean sprouts daily. Not many greens in the yard this time of year. The egg shells are hard look beautiful.

What do your hens like to eat on a regular basis?

 

Mine discovered they love shredded cheese. I give a little to the dog as a treat every now and then. I dropped a few shreds on my way to the dog's bowl and the injured house bound rooster discovered it. For 10 minutes he went on like he won the lottery. Our daughter thought it was hilarious- showed her friends when they came over. It happened enough that he can identify the bag.

 

Our chickens and duck eat Egg Layer Crumble and scratch grains daily, but they also love fruit, veggies, cereal, etc.. They know when it is time for the dogs to be fed as they all race to the garage where we keep the food at feeding time. So, I throw them a handful of dog food to pacify them. They also come and sit at the patio door begging for snacks. They are quite the characters, believe me.
