[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1641626, member: 25884"] The big chicken houses are not all terrible. Have a son of a dairy farmer that put up 2 that supply eggs for the hatcheries for the broiler chicks. Yes he has huge payments, but the first year he pocketed a bigger paycheck after expenses than his dad did from the dairy... and the dairy's land is paid for (several generations on this land). Plus he got over a 4,000 bonus for his hatchability of the eggs... so is managing the hens/roosters/ etc right. And he works part-time at a fence building company because they are desperate for help and his brother conned him into putting in an app and he has a flexible schedule and works it around the houses. I don't necessarily like the houses, but know too many dairy farmers that added them to their operations in order to be able to stay on the land. [/QUOTE]
