"a" flock, the article says. One farm with millions of chickens?
That's bananas
- Yeah, each broiler house can hold ~20-50k chickens (depending on size). A few million chickens is a pretty large operation. Most farms around here have about 20 houses max.
  
  ...why is the place where chickens are raised and kept called a "broiler" house?
  
  Dang, thanks. That's boggling
Y’know eating less meat will help save the planet.
Because the water, power, and pollution expended would be less.
I'm sure any and all chicken producers will use it as an excuse to keep increasing prices.
- Those two don't have to exclude each other! Think of the profits!!
Aw come on, that's a lot of wings, if we promise to cook them well, can you drop off some to my house?
