Cottage Cheese

[Q-tip the indoor chicken]

I tried introducing the chicks to cottage cheese...I think they are afraid of it

mix some oatmeal mildly warm or put it in a metal pan ?

 

[Ming Ming]

warm it up or mix it with some chick starter

Why would you give your chicks/chickens cottage cheese?

 

[Ming Ming]

I was thinking the same thing but I just went with it

 

[pennyJo1960]

There is not reason they cannot have cottage cheese not a steady diet but occasionally

 

[imnukensc]

While that may certainly be true, that wasn't the question.

Why not chicken starter or an all flock feed? Treats are vastly over-rated, IMO. Chickens tend to be lactose intolerant, so why push it? Mary

as long as she did it let them have it but not encourage it again right

There is calcium and salt in Cottage cheese and it has a huge amount of protein. IMO if your birds are in need of supplemental nutrients and they can handle it, go for it. I do not do it all the time but as a special treat for them. My birds love it and will come running for Cottage Cheese. I like it too!
