Called it. Had such fun reading posts today and when nothing came up about April fools I figured it was being moderated. I got pranked well and truly by my husband tho. Lol we've had a mouse problem in our house all winter. Early AF morning just after midnight before I headed to bed he just getting ready to crawl in (notably I'd just told him about this thread and laughed over it And thought to myself that I was Going to have my guard up and NOT get April Fooled!) when he called from the bedroom and goes, 'Sweetheart we have a problem.' In an ominous tone. I came rushing to see and he says, ' there's a mouse in the bed!' And he was totally serious. My mouth dropped open and a million thoughts were flying thru my head when he guffawed and shouted 'April Fools!!!!!'. Lol we nearly split a gut laughing. Thankfully there was no mouse and we slept very soundly!

Aww I fell for it!
I was about to get excited thinking the next step would be a colorizer for the actual chickens. I so wanted a bright pink chicken walking around my yard!

Maybe I should research flamingo food haha.

You all had us on our toes all day, keeping an eye out for all those nay-sayers!

I watched this thread all day....... It was soooo hilarious! I nearly fell over laughing!

And I had the hardest time keeping my mouth shut......

I was afraid mine would get deleted when I alluded to last year's foil joke. This was a good one, guys, but I wouldn't believe anything Rob says on April 1!

Oh, I think the foil one was the best one BYC has ever done.....

I didn't get anything done at work yesterday. Couldn't stop laughing. Think I was one of the first to get deleted. Great prank!

Aw, now I'm bummed my internet was out yesterday; would've liked to follow this thread as it unfolded. But it made good reading for this morning, anyway
