Which came first? Your chicken addiction or your free eggs?
Um, whoa.....whoa...back up the chicken truck here! I've just been sick for a couple of days here, just like lots of other people on BYC who have issues every day. I'm flattered, and I'm honored, but when I think of those who entered because they've lost flocks or had a string of really bad luck, what I have had this past week is nothing - certainly not worth taking the prize from the winner!! I don't know what else to say without coming across as ungrateful, because I'm certainly very appreciative! I guess I'm a little stunned, and I'm not sure what to say here! What an amazingly sweet gesture!@MyPetChicken
Is it possible to gift this win?
I want to give it to @Blooie , With all she's been through.
That's great blooie, wasn't in the cards for either of us with the egg
No indeed...but I'll get over it. It was an honor to be nominated...oh, wait, wrong speech..... um, thanks for the opportunity! There, that one works!

Edited to add: Well, I just finished telling Ken about this, and how touched I was. But I also told him that I'd feel guilty accepting it when so many others have lost flocks and were hoping to replace the birds they miss. Ken said, "Why can't you just accept a gift in the spirit that it was given. Just because you don't think you're worthy doesn't mean other people don't! All you have to do is pay it forward, and you do that all the time already."
So I just sent LocalYokel a PM, letting him (her? Already got busted for that once today!) know that with a grateful (and newly repaired) heart, I am proud to accept this amazing gift. I won't ever forget this, or how special it made me feel. Thank you, @LocalYokel
and thanks to those who chimed in and agreed. I'll name the first chick after you, Local Yokel...as soon as I figure out if I'm naming a roo or a hen!
Thanks! Once was enough on the gender blunders today!He's a very sweet roo, that has a heart of gold blooie
