I need some quick advice! How much water kefir do you users allow your girls to have daily?!

Personally I've never given my girls water kefir it self, just the grains.
You could probably put out a small waterer (in addition to their regular fresh water) of kefir, and let them help their selves.
It will be interesting to observe what they prefer- plain water or water kefir.

I take water kefir with blueberries in it and just pour it over their food as I feed them, they absolutely love it and go crazy for it. I mean looney tunes it is so funny to watch them. I typically let the blueberries sit in the water a couple days before i give it to them.

It is a grain that you can put in milk or water depending on which one you get that kick starts fermentation and makes yummy water or yogurt with healthy probiotics. Search for it on YouTube.
