i ordered some milk kefir grains because I want to start drinking it again. The reason I stopped before was I just couldn’t use it fast enough and became overwhelmed with kefir. I was thinking my chicken didn’t care for fermented feed, I tried it for a month and there was so much waste, they prefer just water added to the crumble, they think it’s a treat lol. Instead of water can I use milk kefir to wet there crumble? Will it give similar benefits as fermented feed? Can they get too much? I know people feed there extra grains and scobies to chickens and kefir is suspose to be lactose free.
 
I don't think it would hurt. Back in the day farmers would give extra milk to their chickens. I don't ferment. I do often give warm moist ration on cold winter days.
