Announcement April Fools 2014 - BYC Sponsored Study: Increase Chicken Broodiness By Up To 48% With Aluminum Foil

[Miss Lydia]

It was a lot of fun, thanks for brightening our day. (The reflection from the foil definitely brightened things).

It sure did I got tanned sitting under it after hearing tin foil makes old timers go broody.

Note that when I said in my post, ".... but this hen has never been broody before", I never said she was broody now, either.

I did get her to flare up messing around putting a piece of foil over her head. Delia hates to be messed with when she's on the nest, LOL.

I do hope that we don't see this all over the internet now, recommending this to get their hens to go broody.

Now, we need someone to tell us how to break up a really determined one. I never have much luck in that department.

Your contribution to the thread had me second guessing my assumption that the foil study was an April Fools joke. Were you recruited to post about the Italian practice of putting foil in the nest box or did you add that on your own?

So all of this was a dud? I actaully believed it! Silly me! O, well.

I remember way back when , there were a small enough number to change every member's title to something goofy. Reading them was a lot of fun. I think the mods worked for hours on that one.
