Can You Give Chickens Juice and Milk?

[MaryaK]

I've been wondering if all they could drink is water. Can I give them juice or milk? Is it safe for them?

I'd stick to plain water. They don't need extra sugar, and may be lactose intolerant (I'm not sure about that) so water is the best. Fruit and veggies are good though. Mary

I THINK milk is fine... I feed my meat birds milk and corn a week before slaughter to fatten them up.

I wouldn't give them juice, plain water is perfect for them

I haven't tried mine with milk but I know that they aren't very good at handling any dairy product in excess - cheese, milk, yogurt.

So make sure not to give them too much!
