There is a law trying to work its way through Congress called the Promising Pathways Act.

Essentially, it would give the FDA a way to let doctors and patients access potential treatments much faster than typical FDA approvals take. This is designed for rapidly progressing diseases where patients might not be around long enough for the full scope of FDA reviews. The decision to try or not try a given treatment would be up to the patient and their care team if there's something that shows promise.

It's a hatching weekend! So far, project white egg layer chicks, a Jersey Giant chick, and Ancona cross ducklings (moms are Welsh Harlequin and Khaki Campbell). Still working in the incubator are at least one more duckling that *may* be a pure Ancona, and more chicks including Jersey Giant, olive egger, and project chicks. A hawk killed our Ancona drake unfortunately so I'm really hoping for at least one or two Anconas but time will tell.

These guys are together while everyone learns to eat and drink, but they'll be separated before the ducklings get super messy. Eventually they'll join our other 2023 babies - chickens are Buckeye, project, Jersey Giant, Marans, and Ameraucana. Ducklings are Welsh Harlequin; black, blue, and fawn & white runners; Cayuga, buff, and white layer, plus a few Ancona/blue Swedish crosses. I need to get more pictures...

I haven't been hatching very many but I do have Marans available, and some nice one-year-old males including Marans, Ameraucana, exchequer leghorn (hatchery), white silkie (hatchery), and gold and silver Sebrights (hatchery).

Incubators are full! If all goes according to plan, we should have ducklings and chicks at the end of April! Ancona ducks, wheaten and blue wheaten Ameraucanas, Buckeyes, and olive eggers. (Those dark brown eggs are from a Marans hen, but she's in with the Ameraucana rooster so her offspring should have olive-green-egg genes.)
