I did and they loved it. Just a little on my finger and they went wild. You should probably make sure it's plain - not flavored or nonfat.

yup! they will love it! but all treats should be given in moderation

Plain yogurt is very beneficial to birds. It's a probiotic, so it gives them all those good gut bacteria that help keep them healthy. When they're full of good bacteria, they become very active and well...healthy!

The chicks will love it! They'll (and you) will get messy though, so put the bowl down and stand back and watch the show!

When I have too much milk I give my chicks/hens milk to drink. They literally dive into it. Fresh goats milk is full of good stuff for them!

I've tried a few times with mine- they just are not interested for whatever reason. they end up walking in it and making a mess but not eating any....
for some reason they act like I'm giving them poison when I try to give them treats- I dont get it.

I gave my 8 week olds some plain yogurt a couple of days ago, and they LOVED it! My question is...how often to feed it??

My question is how do you clean them afterwards. Mine have yogurt all over their heads, backs, 2 stepped in it. My white leghorns are not white anymore! Between the dust baths, yogurt, watermelon over the last few days, they look horrible! Do they ever get cleaned up?
