New to keeping chooks

[H3nr13tt4]

I read everything I can to keep healthy hens. I have 4 shavers and am thrilled to announce that I have received 3 eggs from them so far. They have only just started laying. I want to know if I can give them very creamy sour farm milk as a treat.

hello @H3nr13tt4 - welcome to BYC
I give my flock dairy products occasionally; they love them - especially natural yogurt, which would be similar to your creamy sour farm milk I think.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Chickens do love yogurt but you need to minimize dairy. Chickens were not designed to process lactose.
