Sorry for the OT. Another one of the things died today, and they have all stopped laying a month ago. I figure the 30 layers have cost me over $400 this summer. I know someone of whom will take them off my hands for next to nothing. This is a huge loss on me- i am very POed right now. Only 2 are molting, they are all having diheria and coughting alot. Like i have said, some of them are my pets, which i will not let go of. There may be some diesese causing this, and i do not want it passed on to the next flock (day old chicks i will soon order). What should i do? I estimate about 9 chickens and one guinea will be kept. Also, i plan to sanatise the coop somehow. It is getting a thourough cleaning, and i am taking a sledge hammer to many parts of it (crappy ancient wood nest boxes, in effective roosts). I figure if its worth doing, its worth doing right. This whole thing has not only been a money eating experience, but a learning one. I guess i wont be buying any more full grown birds anymore. Snyone wanting a few birds??
Was planning on putting this off till spring, but i guess its not waiting any longer. Meat birds may still wait till spring.
So i am going on a rampage with a sledge hammer tomorrow, destroying old roosts and boxes. Planning to paint the inside of the coop on the weekend. I knew this was coming for a few mounts when problems started coming up, but i never guessed this soon. I guess ill have to spend more to do it all again. Sorry for the rant, and thanks in advance.

In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
