The chicken farm near me uses cages so there is no wood chips, peanut hulls to compost with, only manure. I hear they are looking at trying to buy every corn stalk bale they can find to add to the compost. A local cellulosic ethanol plant has way, way more stalk bales than they need because of production problems. Maybe the two can get together with the bales and make at least a little lemonade out of a lemon. Sometimes one person's problem can help solve someone else's problem. Yesterday I went by a local large feed mill and there were six semi feed trucks lined up at their wash bay. My fuel man told me the last time he delivered fuel to the chicken plant his whole truck was drenched with disinfectant before he was allowed to leave. The roads going past some of the turkey sites are closed. Fertilizer can't even be delivered directly to a field on those closed roads. It's being treated very seriously but they are losing the battle. One report said the bug can ride along on dust that comes out exhaust fans and can travel for miles. Those of you who have been around poultry know how fine the feather dust is and how well it floats in the air.
The authorities are supposed to be visiting every farm site to check barnyard fowl. They haven't been to my farm yet. I have 15 chicks closed up in a tight building that they will check when they come. I was going to give my old semi-retired hens to a friend but a turkey building broke within 6 miles of where he lives and he wasn't allowed to bring in any new chickens for his barnyard so I had to euthanize the hens and bury them in a field.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
