Must be...

Requirements to participate:
1. Your chickens must be TRUE backyard chickens.
2. Each hen must have at least 2 sq/ft inside and 4 sq/ft of outside space and be cared for properly (the Zone Leader will occasionally inspect the coop and conditions).
3. Each hen must have a name. This is one of the key selling points for the claim of “happy backyard chickens”.

We have members from Alaska, Hawaii, and other countries...imagine flying to Africa every time just to pick up a dozen eggs!​

Wow, this one is SO MUCH better than the ones you had the past 2 years! I didn't suspect AT ALL~

I thought it was funny, and was fooled for a few minutes until I remembered what day it is. I thought it was a neat idea, but wasn't excited about it for any financial reasons (and not just because I'm in Canada). The requirements said a maximum of 10 dozen eggs every two weeks, at $3/dozen. That's a max of $60/month. Enough to subsidize food costs, but certainly not enough to go running out to buy incubators or get really excited over.

I got had by this joke but I am happy to say it was the only one that fooled me and not for money I read a post about duck eggs being used for bakeries I was hoping this would be a way to get my DH to let me get ducks that is the only thing that disappointed me.

Good joke. I am usually careful on April 1st but I was still working on my first cup of coffee and that is my story and I am sticking to it.

I still hate April 1st next year I am going to stay in bed.

And she better be a pullet....I am going to need all the eggs I can get to keep up with this new egg selling program....

This is too funny, Mahonri is zipping, and now the next one in line has pipped ( JessK ? ). They really ARE hatching in order! ( Although the Crele Polish in back has pipped too.)

Speaking on behalf of the now retired Jess K, it is an honor to have a chick named after her!

Go little Ameraucanas!!!
