Announcement Thanks Everyone! Third Annual BYC April Fools Day Was LOTS of Fun!

[Diva]

The rooster exchange for egg had me scratching my nogin wondering how I missed the memo... Laughing.. " Good one"
I had my very own April fools joke played on my by Randall Burkey Hatchery. They apparently doubled my order I rec'd on 3/25/09 and they re-shipped 30 chicks to me yesterday.. Egads! I have the first group in my Master bathroom. I found someone who will give them a good home. Burkey said they don't have any record shipping additional chicks to me so I will make sure my Credit card is not zapped....

The text and the blue lines and buttons removed were definitely not part of anything the BYC Staff did yesterday. I'm very sorry you experienced that yesterday, but I just wanted to let you know that it wasn't part of any April Fool's tricks. What browser were you using?

Agreed!

However, sometimes the joke finds a way into reality. Anyone remember Nifty's Backyard Cows joke from April 1, 2007? And look at us now!

Thanks for the laughs!

Everyone talking about "roosters" yesterday I was going to post and ask what a rooster was (in the way it was being used). Thought maybe it was some chicken lingo that I didn't know, lol.

Hi Sparklee. As mentioned above, this was not related to the April Fools day fun or to BYC. It was definitely only limited to your computer and/or network. How do I know this? If it was across all of BYC I'd have had 300 pm's on the problem, 15 emails, and 2 voicemails.

Glad it looks fine for you now. Next time this happens, simply try a different browser on your PC and I'm 99.89% sure that will show the forum correctly.
