Can you give them...

I was going to make the girls and boys some scrambled eggs is it okay to mix milk with them or not? They are 12 weeks old today if that makes a difference.

I have given mine left over scrambled eggs several times and I use 2% milk. I am not sure if I should have but they are happy and laying.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I just do plain scrambled eggs with no milk. Beat eggs, cook and serve.

I've always heard that chickens can't digest milk products - they are lactose intolerant.

Darn if I can find a really good scientific reference for that at the moment though...

At any rate, I'd leave out the milk - if they are lactose intolerant then small amount wouldn't hurt, but if fed too much it might lead to some nasty digestive upset.
