Yep -- HPAI was just confirmed in a chicken house in Gordon County, GA!

A most excellent anniversary! 🦠

Definitely the glimmer of the children's eyes -- but that is because the viewer doesn't notice it at first because the bright colors of the doll are what gets their attention.

Hmm, perhaps I should have replaced "fine" with "okay". This is a #MentalHealth and #HormoneModidication positivity post. Take care of yourselves in these trying times. #ChixkensOfBSky #ChickenArt

I believe that the stated goal of Project 2025 was to eliminate 50% of CDC. :/

Thank you for the coverage!

Ugh, nooooo not our WGS analysis platform! 😭

I insist that we ALL are just another sack of meat as far as antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is concerned. 🦠

Dos Equis Zero lime & salt is the 💩!!!!!!

Oh nice, I'll check this out!

Excepted employees cannot file for unemployment. 😮‍💨

Phew.

What a good loaf!

The news

A close-up portrait of a hen. Her wattles and comb are a vibrant red. She has chestnut colored feathers, and deep brown eyes. Her beak is very short, possibly from being debeaked as a chick.

Your Rosie is looking at my Rosie, of course! I got her from animal control earlier this year.

A newly-hatched chick looks around its incubator. The harsh lighting makes it look like a movie monster with black beady eyes and a scowling beak.

A red and brown pullet stands proudly for the camera. Each of her feathers have lacing. She has dark eyes and legs, and an orange leg band. She is standing on dry ground with leaf litter, with lush greenery behind her. Her crop is noticeably bulging from treats.

A large red and brown pullet is surrounded by three black and white chickens. The two on the left are both roosters with their backs turned to the viewer. They have black tails. The pullet on the right has a white head and is smaller than the others.

I'm quite pleased with FUBAR's development! She is as large as her half-brother, and twice the size of hell her sister. Got #EgyptianFayoumi looks with the #BielefelderKennhuhn size and chill. I'm looking forward to her ChB6 allele restriction mapping results! #BackyardChickens #DiseaseResistance

Oh, we're back to the "work camps or ovens?" rhetoric again. 😮‍💨

My shoulder has turned into a barometer
Do not recommend.

Some helpful resources!

Happy birthday to a talented artist!

G'mornin from HAI outbreak land!

Excellent use of yellow for the jaundice!

From the perspective of antimicrobial-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, you're just another sack of meat. Hospital outbreaks don't get memos and don't take vacations.

The absolute best novel in the Pern setting.

The US has had quite a few watershed moments this year -- notorious, even.

Eww

Hmmm.

How do I type "Pfffft" in binary?

91%! WTF is "Shyish"

Yes, I've heard that people who keep game fowl think that Fayoumi are batty. I can confirm that they have no sense of self-preservation or remorse over drawing blood from you if they want to be let go. Damned smart too, so you don't HAVE to grab them. She takes voice commands, such as "GO BACK IN!"
