Can my chickens have sour milk?

[cluckmecoop7]

I bought raw (cow) milk from a local farm in my town. The label says it expired yesterday and just a minute ago I tasted the milk and it is very sour. Can my chickens have it? I have no idea.
Thanks!

I've given a little to mine before. The ducks like it too

There is a difference between SOUR milk, which is a useful product like sour cream, and SPOILED milk.

Sour is probably OK in reasonable quantities but spoiled is no good for anything.

There are tiny clumps in it, which I’m assuming means it is starting to ferment.

Make sour milk pancakes, then you and the chicken's can both eat them.

I have no experience with non-commercial sour milk products so I can't say.

Thanks for the help guys!

The clumps are fat. That is very normal from milk that haven't been homogenisised. It's not a sign that it's starting to ferment. One can still use the milk, just strain it. But if the milk is spoiled you should throw it away and not give it to chickens.

Many dairy people feed clobber to chickens with great success. I haven't but it is the term I would use to start researching it.
