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

[TeaChick]

Almost fell for it...

You're lucky.
I totally fell for it!!!

I was going to get that foil up this weekend.

 

[TeaChick]

I need to know how to keep them from going broody.

We need to trade. I've got Leghorns, they'll never go broody!!!

 

[ChickenCanoe]

I had a black leghorn that frequently went broody and raised 3 broods for me. One just never knows.

 

[TeaChick]

you mean old folks can still go broody if they sit under tin foil? well I never

Heresy, heresy I say!

It's ok Sourland,
they laughed at us fogies curing the common cold with chicken soup until somebody got the government to pay big bucks for them to do a study to prove us right!!!

My coffee buddies, I'm an idiot, I fell for it, I didn't want to think that BYC was so cruel as to post a joke like this!!!
Comfort me in my moment of sorrow and wailing, please.

 

[TeaChick]

OK I am one of the fools that forgot it was april fools day and I bought it hook line and sinker....

I'm number 2 on that list.....








Okay.

But now this REALLY has me thinking...foil couldn't HURT or hinder laying, now would it?

Just imagine the conversation with a curious neighbor: "What's the foil in the coop for?"

Me: "I read somewhere on the internet that it helps increase egg production."
