Every time I go up to the chickens they crush themselves into the smallest corner of the run because it’s the nearest corner to me as I walk towards them.
The girls rush to the corner
Here is where they first greet me
They always look as if they think they could squeeze through here to get to me quicker. They then follow me up the path and wait with excitement by the gate, especially if I am holding white pots which they know means yogurt.
They get so excited and soon have yogurt all over their beaks and are covered in flecks of it.
Pepper has yogurt on her beak
Bluebell gets her beak in the yogurt
Dotty gets her beak in the yogurt
It’s not long before the pots are empty and you would be forgiven for thinking they had been licked clean. It’s amazing how a beak can get every last little drop of yogurt.

I have never tried yogurt on it’s own ..That will be my next trick , I know it is good for them .
I read that bio live yogurt once a week is good for their digestion and some people mix it with something else, some give it as it is. I tried them as it is and they have always loved it. I would say it is the treat they love the most, they go crazy for it. Sometimes we go up with our cup of tea in a white cup and they get really excited because they think it may be yogurt. Even though I only give it once a week, once they see the white pots they get really, really excited. We always say it seems a funny thing to like, I think it must be the texture.
