powdered milk, oatmeal & powdered baby food?

[team_metzer]

Would it be ok to mix the powdered baby food & milk in with their food? And do they get any vitiamins out of the milk , food, oatmeal or will just go thru their system?
I had read somewhere that the powdered milk could help some bactiera infections is this true?

People do feed chickens milk products, but keep in mind birds do not have lactase, which means they are milk intolerant. Too much will give them diarrhea. Lots of info will come up if you Google it.

I believe powdered milk is used sometimes as an aid in treating coccidiosis, which is not bacterial but protozoal.

Agree with the above. Limit milk intake. Yogurt is better but that has to be limited a bit too. Think of it more as a "treat" than as a regular thing. I have no experience with treating bacterial infections.
