What is the best way to feed chickens yogurt?

[DDRanch]

Have to agree with the folks that say put it in a shallow container quickly and then get the heck out of the way....really.

I Gave some plain yogurt mixed with their feed on a paper plate. They were afraid of the paper plate so I left it in there for them. Well when I came back a few hours later they ate all of the yogurt mix and literally half of the paper plate. All I can hope for is no impacted crop.

I also mix some plain yogurt with some feed. They love it.

Yes, my first try with yogurt didn't work as I put nothing in it and they just tromped through it. This was when they were young, maybe 3 weeks. Then I added their feed and they recognized that and went for it. Since then I have served it to them plain or mixed with other things (today hemp seed and chick scratch).

I love the fact that they calmly eat it off each other's face. The first time I saw one of the lower on the totem pole chicks eat it off the current bully roos face I was horrified and thought she would get a real whooping but no. As well, it is the one treat that everyone seems to be able to share peacefully without fighting for space or pushing someone out.

I buy the plain low fat type, not sure if there one type is better than another. I would serve it every day but I think I read once a week. Anyone have any info on that??

Mine get it every morning with grapes and have been for a couple of months. I'll post if any issues arise.

Very beautiful!
All the best on your treatments and may you get to enjoy retirement thoroughly!
