Rooster Charm School, Class of 2026, is now in session! #BielefelderKennhuhn #roosters make amazing flock protectors without being jerks to humans. I'll keep one as an outcross for my #DiseaseResistance breeding project. These nuggets will weigh about 9 pounds once grown. #Chickens #BackyardChickens
#TIH

Watching the Science Set grow has been a lot of fun, especially when you get to say things like "Louis Pasteur and Jonas Salk have the zoomies!"
These will be heterozygous for the #HeatTolerance and #DiseaseResistance genes I'm looking for. #BackyardChickens
#FruitRes
VAP27 gene family in grapevine identified and characterized. Study explores roles in plant growth and disease resistance. 🍇

I have F3 peeps! They will be joined in a few weeks by another clutch of half-siblings. I like their red heads and the obvious rooster with his head spot and prominent comb. #EgyptianFayoumi #BielefelderKennhuhn #DiseaseResistance #Autosexing #ChickensOfBSky #BackyardChickens
#OurNewPaper Congratulations to Adriana, doctoral student in our virology team. Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus, a highly destructive pathogen that poses a significant threat to several crops worldwide, particularly within the Mediterranean basin #PlantVirology #EmergingDisease #DiseaseResistance
Three sisters intercropping system. Maize (blue), beans (red), and squash (yellow) are grown together. Factors making the system more robust and higher yielding than monocropping are listed in boxes.
#Intercropping & #CropRotation are ancient #agricultural practices that increase yield & #DiseaseResistance in #crops. This Essay discusses the role of plant-derived metabolites & microbes in these systems and how they can contribute to #SustainableAgriculture @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4op7k6W

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

I'm currently seeking a PhD position in Plant Pathology, with a focus on plant immunity, plant-microbe interactions, and disease resistance.
Open to collaborations, advice, and opportunities—let's connect!

This delightful little creature is 3/4 #EgyptianFayoumi. I wasn't going to keep him due to his bewildering all-white #SpontaneousMutation, with a #SplitComb and tassle (crest). His temperament is absolutely delightful, an absolute 180 from his mom. #BackyardChickens #DiseaseResistance
Seven young chickens all look to the right at a passing off-camera car. Several have white heads, others have brown feathering. All have black barring on their feathers. They are in a pen atop a lawn made of a mixture of clover, violets, mustard garlic, and grasses.
F2 Bielefelder/Fayoumi mixes getting some time outside to #TouchGrass There is a single F1 and a purebred #EgyptianFayoumi in there too. I love how they all alert as a group at a passing car. #DiseaseResistance #Chickens #BackyardChickens
Resistant black currants use leaf metabolites to recruit beneficial microbes & have physical defenses against PM. Great potential for crop protection! #PlantMicrobeInteractions #DiseaseResistance @OxfordJournals
