We love yogurt

My chickens love yogurt. Live, pro biotic, plain yogurt is good for chickens digestive systems. It must be given sparingly though. I have read that two teaspoons per bird, twice a week is the right amount. I buy a small pot mid week, divide it in to two and give it to them for two mornings. Some people mix it with their pellets but my chickens like it just as it is. They eat it from a small dish in the same way that they drink, tipping their heads up to swallow. They splash it over themselves but then peck it from each other to clean up. One thing I have read though is, don’t give it to a hen with sour crop, as it could sit in the crop going sour and adding to the problem.
