MISS PRISSY or others Regarding YOGURT

[joebryant]

How often should the chickens be given yogurt, and about how many tablespoonsful per chicken. I often wonder if I'm giving them too much. I make a gallon about every week or two, but Anne and I eat most of it.

Its not really a scientific issue. I just throw a cup or so in a glop on the floor for them once a day or more if they've been sick or had antibiotics. I have a dozen birds right now who eat the stuff.

I would do this for the chickens so they can enjoy the full amount of yoguart instead of flipping it about. I always made the
probiotic wet mash with crumbles, milk and yoguart
PROBIOTIC WET MASH
1 qt of dry crumbles
2 qts of milk
either fresh, sour ( made by adding 2 tbsp of ACV to gallon of milk) or buttermilk
1/8 cup of yoguart non flavored kind
mix good and feed chicks all this 2 tsp per chick
any not used put in frig

I would use some apple cider vineager in their water
2 tsp per gallon
it will help the digestion of the feed

they only need it what they clean u in 20-30 minutes
and if you like using the yoguart insted of the milk do so

they will only eat for
chicks 2 weeks or older 2 tsp per time of wet mash

Older Chickens
3 tbsp per time feeding wet mash

they can have it daily if you use the crumbles with it

but then clean out the feeder after they get it ate in 20-30 nibutes

with summer coming the heat may spoil the feed
so only feed what they can eat. The yoguart is really good for them as it is milk made into solid form

milk is a basic mainstay for chicken feed
Hopefully the chickens will have lots of good Gut Flora to fight off diseases
