Can you feed chickens blue cheese?

[EEforMe]

Soooooo, I kinda sorta maybe just spilled half a container of blue cheese crumbles on the floor and I’m wondering if you can feed blue cheese to chickens because blue cheese isn’t cheap and I don’t want to completely waist it. I know you’re not supposed to feed moldy things to chickens but the mold on blue cheese is special mold so just wondering.

I "think" it is fine outside of the dairy issue that they can't have much of.

Chickens can't digest large amounts of dairy but I occasionally give my chickens cheese and add milk to my crossbeak's mash so I think it'll be fine

You CAN feed chickens literally anything. The question to be asked is, should you feed them bleu cheese?

Without looking anything up, I'd lean toward NO. Why? Bleu cheese is notoriously moldy, and chickens don't do well with mold. As I've been reminded in just the last 24 hours, AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH MORE THAN A POUND OF CURE.

That's my $.02 worth...

Blue Cheese is also salty, which isn’t good for birds. A little bit is probably fine, but might be better off burying it in the flower bed.
