can my laying chickens eat homemade cottage cheese if no added salt

[bargain]

just wondered as I have goats and sometimes I forget about my cottage cheese.

Thanks.

Everything in moderation.

If you have access to milk, why not make yogurt? Miss Prissy has wonderful recipes for making milk related goodies. Many BYCers like using yogurt because of the probiotic benefits.

They would worship and adore you if you gave this to them!

Yogurt is a perennial fav among chickens, too.

Sheesh! I'll eat your homemade cottage cheese if you've got extra sitting around!

Lucky chooks!

I used to have lots of extra milk and would make something I thought of as cottage cheese. It wasn't for me but the dogs, cats and chickens loved it. And, the hens turned it right into eggs, it seemed.

There were desserts that Mom used to make with rennet tablets. (Here's a collection of recipes.) But, I just used 1/4th tablet dissolved in a little water with a gallon of milk. After it sat in a shallow pan covered with a cloth for most of the day, it could be cut up and given another hour or so. Then the whey could be drained. Out to the critters the cubes of "cheese" would go. It was very well received

If you give your chickens the whey that is left over from making cheese they will love you for it also.
