Has or is anyone giving their chickens Kombucha, scobie or/and Kefir?

I brew my own Kombucha and make my Kefir & was thinking if I could give it to all my hens?

No, but Kefir . . . is a really bizarre, ironic even, name for something that's supposed to be good for you.

I do!!
We recently got goats and so we now have our own supply of "not messed with but we are ok with that" milk. I got some kefir grains and now everyone gets it.
Us, the dogs, chickens, ducks, and of course the goats too. The baby kids need all the help they can get to start their bellies off on the right track to digest food.
I did try kombucha once, but I did not really get the hang of it, and the large rubbery disc on top, creeped me out a bit tbh...

Since posting my query, I have started giving mine Kombucha and Kefir grains, too and they all seem to like it and their feathers seemed to have improved with a lovely shine to it, too

I will try also giving it to my dogs, too now and see if that improves their overall coat and health

Our dogs love it, to the point that I have two salivating limpets when the jar is removed from the fridge or I even go near the goats milk storage! My boy had a sensitive stomach and I have to be careful what I feed him, but he does well with this.
