    That said - 250k each means that a whole lot of chicken farmers around here have over a billion dollars buried in their fields.

    And in all honesty they’re basically just glorified Turkey buzzards w/ a side of symbolism.

    How are eagles a problem for chicken farmers? Poultry operations are not outside, all enclosed.

    You have free range chickens you will have losses, eagles, fox, raccoon, coyote, dog and cats. Just because it sounds like a good idea does not make it a sustainable idea. When I raised pheasants and chickens the outdoor runs were covered with nets, otherwise you lose birds anybody with a brain can see it.

    yup, even the DNR facility that used to raise pheasants for the put/take hunts had the netting over the huge pens ...
