Now, about those restraining orders. Whom do I send my list to? I only have about one hundred, thirty-seven names.

You put up your own restraining orders, duh.

What a cold cold thing to do.
Spent two days picking up all these egg shells I have to walk on around here and now you're telling me I have to go spread them all out again?

Thank you to all for a very good time here all year

Every year, I look forward to finding the April Fool Day thread / announcement!

I fell for it in 2014 (Aluminum foil to increase broodiness). In fact, in spring 2015 we wanted a broody hen, so I went into research mode. I wanted to read up on how others lined their nest boxes & which foil to use. Boy was I sad to find out it was a joke!

Does anyone else remember that one?

 

[Perris]

good one! Given the number of Aprils I have experienced, you'd have thought I'd be better at spotting them, but no...not yet anyway!

hmmm I did figured it out pretty quick but it was fun
