Pop quiz on feeding yogurt

[gritsar]

Today I treated all of our animals, chickens included, to some yogurt. First time they've had any in awhile.

When I took two trays of the yogurt out to the juveniles I forgot the cardinal rule of feeding yogurt.

Can anyone tell me what the cardinal rule of feeding yogurt to chickens is?

Ah, an A+ for both of you. I know better than to just stand there, but every once in awhile my brain takes a vacation.

That's why I never wear my "going out" clothes around the girls! I remember the first time I had yogurt flung in my face...

My girls must be Miss Manners. They lap up every bite!

I was feeding yogurt to them every day and then realized that it was probably pretty high in calcium for their young bodies. I give it to them about twice a week now, much to their dismay.

I give mine organic plain yogurt topped with red cayenne pepper. I decided to try some to see why they like it so much. That's gotta be the most awful tasting stuff ever. Why, do they like it? I guess that's why people say "That's for the Birds"

why do you feed your chickens yogurt? Is it only b/c they like it or does it have extra benefits for their health?
Do you think my Coturnix would like it ?

Yogurt is good for their digestive system. As far as your birds eating yogurt you would have to give them some. I only give my chick's plain organic yogurt.
