Is raw milk ok for poults?

[schellie69]

I wish I was your neighbor I go through milk around here like water. I wish I had the problem of to much milk I can't wait until I get a farm and get a cow. You can also make yogurt and feed that to the chickens there are some easy recipes on line or maybe some cottage cheese or regular cheese anything to not waste the milk. also freeze it so you can have extra if you need it later

Cheese is a wonderful idea. Mozzarella is super easy for a beginner. Here's a website I've used to get the specialty ingredients.

If you've read Barbara Kingsolver's book _Animal, Vegetable, Miracle_ it's the company she mentions.

I have 5 day old Bourbon Reds. They're on 24% starter. I'm also pouring perfectly good, fresh Jersey milk down the drain just because there's more than we can drink. Would it be good, bad, or neutral to feed some to my turkey poults? What if I let it clabber first?

Also, I have some egg shells from a batch of hard boiled eggs. Could those be crumbled up and fed to them? Can blackhead be transmitted from chickens to turkeys through feeding them chicken eggshells?

Thanks!

We use to have goats. We had a lot of extra goat milk. We would let it cuddle and they would love it.

Making mozzarella from fresh milk is inexpensive and super easy and requires only 3 more ingredients- salt, vinegar and rennet. There's plenty of instructions and YouTube videos on the internet.
