I found this:
"The study confirmed the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker's findings from earlier this month that showed the vaccine had 76% efficacy against symptomatic coronavirus infection for three months after the first dose."

Which means 24 out of 100 people will not be protected. I'll be in the queue in about 20 days. The Johnson & Johnson one that has yet to be approved here is only 60% effective. If it has been approved at that time I'm going to ask which vaccine they are using. If it is Pfizer or Moderna I'll go. If J&J, no thanks I won't make an appointment. And if they don't know until you get there I'll leave.

It isn't like you can pee on a strip of something to know if you are protected or not. J&J should just punt their vaccine and make one of the other 2 on a contract of some sort. We need a large quantity of effective vaccine not a large quantity of "well it MIGHT work".


My girls wait until I get there, whenever that is They don't need me for anything right off anyway. Their food and water is in the run (ie the barn alley), the door to the coop opens with daylight and they won't go out in the snow anyway. I go out earlier later in the year when I know they will want to get out of the barn.

But they still have to wait in mid summer. Just because they are up with the sun at 4:30 AM doesn't mean I want to get up then!


Do you know what one she had? The only options I know about are for the 2 approved vaccines here in the USA and as posted before, those are 3 & 4 weeks.

I don't. I'll try to remember to ask her next email.

Hello, Shad, hope that you have had a good day.

It would be impossible to be longer than 2 weeks and the area wasn't available to them prior to that. And it was still cold then as well.
I'm gauging this by the number of bantam eggs in there. I haven't seen an egg from Jody for about a week and 4 of the eggs in the stash are hers. So I'm leaning to max of one week, probably less.

Two week old eggs should be fine as long as they haven't been heated up. I often collect week or more old eggs and haven't had a bad one yet.

DL, so sorry for all your troubles. I know you take good care of your birds. And that if Barb's time comes, you won't let her suffer.

Okay, thank you! I removed the other chicks so they wouldn't be clobbering the poor little thing. Will it detach on its own?

Pretty dumb to hatch when I couldn't be home to take care of issues. Won't do that again!

If there is shell stuck using a very warm water wet a paper towel hot water works best and cools enough by the time squeeze a bit of moisture then start working it off..

aAfternoon Cafe blood draw this morning had to be fasting one but done home no worse for wear..

 

[Sally PB]

DL, I'm sorry for your loss. She'll be out of her pain, but you will still have yours. There are no words. English is lacking that way.

Afternoon! The temp outside is dropping fast. The tires are all topped off and I now have the three granddogs for a long week or so. No-Neck Stitch (new ranch cow dog) and the 2 little dogs that my cat hates, and I think the bigger dog will give the cat a reason to not pick on the small ones. Everything for the cat has been moved upstairs to keep it all good.
I took the sheep for a walk today while delivering eggs to a neighbor. It is kinda funny the way they just follow along enjoying the walkabout!
I think the club practice is out tonight because they are increasing the heavy snow time.
The chicks sound awesome Meg!
