x2Ok, wait. Need some clarification. You said the people you bought the place from told you to get rid of your chickens. So are they now your neighbors and raising chickens for Tyson? But you own this property you live on? And they are saying that YOU can't have chickens on your own property because of what they are doing on their property?
This might be a case of TOO BAD for them if you want to keep your own chickens. Was all of this disclosed and discussed before you bought the place? I just don't see how they can now try to tell you that you can't keep your chickens on 40 acres.
If they are indeed raising chickens on contract for Tyson then I'm sure they have stringent bio security rules they have to follow as far as their chicken houses. I do not believe for a minute that those rules include telling neighboring landowners what they can and cannot do on their own property.
