The positives thread

[Milux]

There's less of a lineup at food and drink outlets and the toilets at the Gabba.

Its sad but i thought the same thing.

 

[Lace Out]

As low as Fitzroy but with the TV rights we survive !

 

[JTW3553]

I'm at the Gabba for the WCE match.
My only other Gabba visit was v Geelong earlier this century.
We won.
I'm 1 for 1
so we will win this week.
positive or delusional.

 

[MacMum]

Positively delusional

 

[Milux]

[Some_guy]

[braddsey]

I might out do you on this one. We got a dozen fresh eggs delivered. Free of charge. No hens. Thats a positive right?

 

[Toffee Lion]

Collingwood is always good for a cheer up.

 

[Gadzorks]

We have lots of room for improvement.

We are still waiting for ours to lay.
I think they are barren.
What sort are yours ?

Not bad for a one day positive. But hens are fun for kids and eat all the table scraps!

How old are they? Are you feeding them some sort of layers mix or layer pellets? So they say "****-a-doodle-doo"? Hen's that say things like that don't lay eggs...

We've got 3 brown hens (likely Isa Brown's or something similar) and 2 grey hens (I think they're Bluebell's).

They are pure bred rhode island reds.nearly 8 months old.
Spoilt absolutely rotten ,fed all the right things.
Apparently it was too hot for them to lay ,now it is too cold.
Should be ok, their pen is insulated and their outside area has a great view even with a viewing ladder to see the bush out the back.They live in a chooks version of the Ritz
They are let out every afternoon in the garden to scratch.

Our neighbours ,instead of waiting for eggs, are now waiting for the axe to swing so they can have roast chicken.

Mine only eat fresh lettuce from my garden and seed mix. They won't touch the pellets - will squark and whinge all day until they get what they want. They even ate their own egg on day instead of the pellets.
Spoilt bloody rotton.

we need to start a my chooks are better layers than your chooks thread. we had this one cranky arse chook that was terrorizing the others so we butchered it and found that it was egg bound, there were 9 eggs on the go in there that couldn't get out.

the grand kids named the chooks- twearker, rosie, strawberry are the names i remember. RIP blacky. note: we told them blacky escaped.

soft.

 

[Ceebee]

soft.

OK.thanks.

 

[Gadzorks]

soft.

With a bit of grit in their diet they will soon harden up. Shame we can't buy grit for afl players at the produce shop.

My chooks are well neglected. They get a layer mix (no pellets though), table scraps which is literally anything the kids don't eat, and then weeds I pull from the garden. Other than this they free range all day, but only in an area probably 30-40 square meters.

We went on vacation for 2 weeks and they were locked in the run and fed and watered themselves the whole time. Neighbours all got eggs otherwise no maintenance required.

I was forgetting we have a positives thread. Of course, it has to be for non-football related stuff these days.

 

[Ceebee]

If the mods want to make it into a chook thread they can.
Sorry .it just kept growing

 

[braddsey]

If it helps to steer this conversation back to football positives, all my brown chooks are called "Browney". When some food is thrown into their field they show a hunger to go in for hard ball that could serve a good lesson for some of the Lions players.

My daughter named one of the chooks "Henny-Penny" - which is somewhat appropriate to this forum as when I glance over the first page of the discussion topics, I could swear the sky is falling...
