Can I give my chickens milk that’s not spoiled?

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Many chickens are milk intolerant, I'm not sure they would drink it, however its definitely not harmful to them. It does contain a lot of calcium so non layers should avoid it.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

I agree with @TwoCrows and sure you could try it but I too don't think they'd drink it. If they do, I wouldn't let them have a lot of it or on a daily basis. Even when we give them probiotics in the form of yogurt, I'm careful that each only gets about a tablespoon of it.

Welcome to BYC! Thanks for joining us.
Agreed with the others, I don't think they'll drink much of it but a little won't hurt them. I wouldn't leave the milk out for very long because it will spoil.

welcome to BYC!!!
please let us know if they like the milk.
I know a little yogurt is good for them sometimes
and I wonder if maybe buttermilk is good too?
