Yogurt for babies...how much?

[jupitergirl]

I use part of a cereal box cut up so I can throw it away when they are done. I mix a bit of chick crumble to get them started. They love it. Always plain with live cultures. Now they run over and eat if off a spoon.

Have you left it in the brooder with them for awhile? They are chicken about new things, pardon the pun.
You could also try sprinkling some of their crumbles on top of the yogurt to help them get the idea.

I give yogurt about every day. At least 4 times a week. I take about a cup and dump it in their feeders and sprinkle starter over it. They eat every drop.

I will have to try again, they were the same way with hard boiled eggs. Now they scarf it down like there's no tomorrow. Try, try again!

That's what I did - I put crumbles on top. It looked like one of those yogurt parfait thingies from McDonalds!!!

I used mealworms in one particular bowl to get them to know good things were in this bowl.
Then I put some yogurt in it. Worked great.
