I think if you had a flock of laser-beam-eyed chickens in a short while you wouldn’t have a well-protected flock, but rather a pile of partially dismembered, somewhat cooked chicken parts.
Or you spend a fortune on little red sunglasses.
Yeah, but if the chicken’s laser-beam eyes are thwarted by wearing the glasses, what’s the point of them having laser beam eyes in the first place?
I think that chickens would be too dumb to raise them if they had to, no matter what raising mechanism you design.
Isn’t that the new slogan for KFC?
If the chickens ( or Cyclops) can’t control the frikken laser beams coming out their eyes, and they need red glasses, where does the energy go that is always coming out? Must get hot under those goggles.
Getting them to sit and read the eye charts so the prescription would be correct must have been a trip.

Umm, y’all are aware that red chicken eye coverings were a thing?
Oh shit, maybe all of this has already happened and it’s just not well-known.
Y’all had your choice of timelines, the one where chickens naturally have Cyclops powers and the one where RFK artificially breeds chicken through multiple epidemics so they have Cyclops powers.
I’m just here to beat @Stranger_On_A_Train to the punch in pointing out that RED sunglasses wouldn’t filter out RED laser beams.
They’re powerful enough they shoot green lasers.

You think that’s bad? Try playing chess with one. Although, they’re generally better opponents than pigeons are.

Technically they aren’t lasers, it’s a heatless concussive force that just has the appearance of red light. And they’re blocked by “ruby-quartz”, one of those fictional comic book materials that have unique physical properties that try to explain whatever implausible shit the writer came up with.
The Sevretary of Commerce is now acting like a crypto bro grifter trying to convince the marks to “buy the dip” so he can cash out and leave them holding the bag.
News flash: Fox News publishes a true statement!!!
“Democrats want to destroy Musk.”
A failed Republican candidate was found guilty Wednesday of hiring people to shoot at the homes of local Democratic leaders after he lost an election for the New Mexico House of Representatives, according to his attorney.
Solomon Peña, 41, was charged with multiple felonies, including three counts of solicitation to commit a crime of violence, three counts of using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence and discharging the firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm and conspiracy, according to a federal superseding indictment filed against him in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
A jury found him guilty on all counts Wednesday evening, according to Peña’s lead attorney, Nicholas T. Hart.
Peña faces life in prison. A sentencing date has not been set.
Interesting. And he was already a convicted felon before this stable genius move.

Plus, we would at the same time be breeding new - and shorter, i.e. faster - generations of flu virus that can evade the immune systems of those superchickens. Rinse and repeat.
Or perhaps evolve to quit the chickens altogether and go after another species that spends a lot of time around chickens.

I’ll need a cite that short viruses are faster than tall ones, it seems like human sprinters tend to be taller than average.
Although I imagine shorter/faster ones would find it easier to evade antibodies and T-cells, so you may be on to something.
An important piece of this one that all should be aware of:


Trump's US Commerce Secretary, who owns Tesla stocks, publicly recommends to...
Trump’s US Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, who indirectly owns Tesla (TSLA) stocks through his firm, has publicly recommended buying Tesla...
Est. reading time: 4 minutes
He’s not just currying favor with Musk, here.
After being nominated by Trump, Lutnick said that he would be divesting from his holdings, which are mainly linked to Cantor Fitzgerald, within 90 days.
The 90 days are not up yet, but there is no update on whether he has started divesting yet.
[but maybe this is what you were getting at, Smapti]
