OH MY CHICKEN! I went the whole day yesterday without getting tricked...until I logged on to BYC. You guys...

 

[sourland]

Got Me.

 

[DUCKOBSESSED]

For once I knew this was a trick!

 

[tntchix]

I think it worked because it was so subtle. Nice job.

 

[Wyandottes7]

I had no idea it was a trick!

I marked the thread b/c I thought it was odd that yesterday such an announcement was made. You got me good in 2014 (ready to make foil-lined nesting boxes), so I was looking around for one this year. Thanks for keeping it interesting.

knowing Rob's history with April 1st I was pretty sure he had something up his sleeve

I guess this means I have to finish the Easter Hatch?

And so much for a clean house.
