We make good use of everything here 😄
On the 14th March we went to the cinema to see The Invisible Man, a good film by the way. We just caught the cinemas before they and all other places of entertainment and eating out were shut down. It was a profitable night out as we came away with two full bags of popcorn, left by the people in front of us. Why do people buy so much popcorn and then not eat it, perhaps the idea of it is more appealing than the actual taste to them. Well anyway we picked it up for the chickens to have over the coming days.
Then a day or so later we tidied the house ready for the photographer to come and take the sales shots for the estate agent, and the bags of popcorn were hidden in the cupboard.
You know what I am about to say don't you!!
Yes, I found them at the start of this week. Luckily the popcorn was still as fresh as when it was popped ... which I actually found a bit strange.
Anyway everyday this week the chickens have had a nice treat of sweet popcorn ... they love it and hoover it up in preference to their usual un-popped corn.
Oh well it has made their usual rations last a lot longer, and it's nice to see their excitement.

Happy chickens is great and they deserve a treat as much as anyone. After all, they keep giving and giving!

Only in entertainment value ... our girls and boys are all in happy retirement now. Perhaps one egg a week if they're in the mood 🤣
DeleteA lovely free treat for the happy retirees. You can't beat free. I hate waste...my dad used to say 'eyes bigger than your belly'.
ReplyDeleteBut do their eggs taste sweeter?
ReplyDeleteExcited Chickens and Toilet Planters make for a great Hook for a Post! *Winks* I do wonder also, Sweeter Eggs with the Popcorn Binge?
ReplyDeleteNo, as far as I know the eggs taste just the same. We still get the bright orange yolks that their love of greens and corn always causes.
DeleteClick bait titles eh ... ;-)
Love to see a recycling/reusing post.
ReplyDeleteLovely the chickens got a favourite treat for free. x
My girls have given up as well now and I'm also lucky if I get one egg every so often. But to me they are worth so much more in their entertainment value and as valued pets. Loved the toilet planter.
ReplyDeleteWe were about to get rid of it when we thought it will give anyone viewing the house something to remember us by ;-)
