"Lynn, is this the farm where my chicken crunchies grow? Why don't you stop and go in and git me more?"
I ride my bike by these buildings almost every time I'm out.
Chicken farms are a big industry in our county and you
see buildings like this every where on the rural roads.
These are not egg farms though some one must provide the
eggs that hatch. These are for eating chicken dinners.
Amazingly they emit no smell until time to clean out the
basement septics and then the worst smell is they spread
it on all the farm fields around. Then you can not miss
the stink in the air even a few miles away.
"Why is my bowl empty if all these burds live so close?"
The end of summer pink flowers. Sedum with honey bees.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.
We have chicken farms nearby too, and I know what you mean about the smell when they are cleaned out! It looks like they are able to get out with restricted roaming.
ReplyDeleteI believe battery farming is still legal in the US. It was banned here in 2012 which is a farce. Some farms still keep the hens in small cages, but as long as they have a perch in the cage it is allowed! All hens should be able to run around, even if it is only in a barn, but preferably outdoors.
An empty bowl is not good, Precious!
Yes! I agree...Chickens should be allowed to
ReplyDeleteroom free...after all, all that grass, insects and
exercise they can get, the final bird for the table,
will taste so much better...and...the best part of
a chicken is still the parsons nose...Yum! Yum! ;).
(poor old chickens)...! :(
Lovely seeing the honey bees to...though have'nt
seen that many this year, and 'not' even a bumble
bee...not one...! There's been a decile in insects and
even butterflies this year, blaming the weather, always
a favourite, and the general environment...
HeHe! I blame the government...well...they get the blame
for everything, and why not...there 'ALL' useless, the lot
of them...?
Anyway Precious, you and Mum have a great weekend
and enjoy yer chicken crunchies...! Bless! :O).

DeletePor chickens!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all the bees - sedum is great for attracting insects.
Precious, you are not starving, so stop pretending.
I eat chicken, but the poor chickens....Chicken and sheep manure are the worst, IMO. I never minded the smell cow manure, and of course horses were my first love, so their manure didn't bother me!
ReplyDeleteNot only the bees in that video, but crickets and birds too. Lovely to listen to.
Smooches and scritches to Precious, have a terrific weekend and week ahead!
We have chicken farms around here somewhere too but I haven't seen or smelled them LOL! Looking good sweet Precious!
ReplyDeleteSome people have chickens here but no big farms like that.
ReplyDeleteHi Precious and Lynn
ReplyDeleteOMC(hickens) no eggs laid that is amazing. My great uncle had a huge farm with pigs, cows, veggies, tobacco and chickens. He sold the eggs and that was one smelling area. They chicken houses smelled worse than the piggy pins.
Hugs and I love your video of pink Sedum

What comes out in the end is always good for the farm fields, Precious...
ReplyDeletePrecious, we have no answers to your questions.
ReplyDeleteIt's an excellent time to watch the bees do their work.

I've never been near a chicken farm. I have been near a cow farm though. Pretty flower.
ReplyDeletePrecious, I will ask MY mom if she'll head out to the farm where the chicken crunches grow too! If I get a bunch. you are invited over for breakfast AND supper!
ReplyDeleteOh I dislike anything kept contained like that. New Zealand baned battery hen caging in 2023 but you can still keep them in larger cages, enclosed. I can well imagine the smell when it is put on the paddocks Lynn. You'd want a good rainfall to dampen it all down & hopefully reduce the smell. I am sorry your bowl was empty dear Precious - that would be a criminal offence in our household. Your sedum is just gorgeous Lynn - the bees sure do love it. I hope you get some nice mild autumnal days after your summer temps. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's all dairy farms around here. When manure is spread it can be quite potent!
ReplyDeleteNice to see so many honeybees !
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the smell although my Sweetie has tried to describe it.
ReplyDeletePrecious, you deserve a full food bowl. Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday.
That smell sounds awful. I am glad you have honeybees. I haven't seen one in years because a lot died off from some mite. XO
ReplyDeleteThe chicken (and turkey) farms around where we live are all regular farms. They do stink if we have not had rain or wind for a while, but that is only when you drive past them. She says it is no worse than out litter boxes. I am quite enjoying my current adventure! I can't wait for the next episode! Keep being Awesome! Marvelous Marv, Kozmo, Jo Jo, Nutmeg and Mom Barb
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Say, Precious, would it be possible for a dog to go to those fields where they spread the awful stinky chicken septic tank manure and, you know, kind of roll around in it? Asking for a friend ..."
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "SHE MEANS HERSELF AND NOT ME!!!"
That’s really interesting! I wouldn’t have guessed they don’t smell until cleaning time. I can imagine once the septic gets spread on the fields though, there’s no escaping that strong farm smell for anyone nearby.
