Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Definitely green!

Green enough!

I'm sorry. I could, once the new ones are published, break down the findings for those who are interested. This is comparatively simple compared to those.

It's not your fault Bob.
I understand what I've read, but not enough about the subject in general to be able to work out how much of an impact the study will have. I know various institutions and pharmaceutical companies are working flat out to try to produce an effective vaccine. Your study seems to me to be more about dealing with post infection problems such as pneumonia which antibiotics will tackle.
My poor understanding of Covid is it isn't technically alive, as in not a living organism. It's a protein essentially and therefor you can't kill it. What you can do for example is destroy the lipid which that protects it and allow it to decay. So, I'm trying to make the connections between a vaccine for Covid and work to produce an antibiotic.

I cropped that picture of Jabberwocky. Here is the whole thing.

Cool picture is that.

I'd never heard of chickens with green legs either so I googled. Greenish grey legs are an EE trait apparently. I wouldn't know. I don't know anyone with EE's in Oz. I have Araucanas but I'd call their legs slate coloured I'd be sus with this lot too. Tell you anything, they would.

I am glad you see my point. It all just seems so improbable. But I have now seen pictures of 3 different chickens all with green legs so I am beginning to believe it is true.

All wrapped up. He's got his rear toe down at last which he been a bit hesitant about, I assume because it hurts the tendon.

You are correct. That study I sent has nothing to do with COVID. It is from before COVID ever existed. It is specifically about the worst form of antimicrobial resistance.

You are right about the virus. It can be hard to build a vaccine as the outer coat of the virus can be variable.

I've read the studies you provided Bob and tbh I don't really understand them. One would need considerable knowledge of the relevant fields appreciate how important the studies are and their relevance to their long term impact on viral immunology.
I kept having to dive into a dictionary and then onto the magazine Nature to find anything similar in the field that I might understand better.
My biology knowledge is pretty limited and my chemistry stopped pre university.

I did surprisingly ok on the one Bob sent me. It was a fascinating study with a seemingly great outcome. But I have no expertise so I didn't fully comprehend the context.

It's funny to see Hattie sitting on the ground. She only did that when he was here. It took her a long time to forgive me for taking him away.
