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.
