I sell a lumberyard in Goldsboro who has been selling to several of these chicken house builders for the last ten years. It was huge business for them during the Great Recession when there was no other new home construction going on.
We also sell Hog Slat over in that neck of the woods.
Did a job for a chicken farmer in Goldsboro 30+ years ago. He was explaining the operation to me and told me about a neighbor who lost 60,000 birds to an ice storm on night.
