How much money do these guys make per house? I know a a half a dozen people who have just got into it and love it. The say it takes an hour a day per house. Some have even purchased land to do it. What do y'all think?

They obviously haven't been in long enough to realize that those one hour per house days are few and far between.

Whoever told you one hour a day must be getting ready to sell you his chicken houses.

I know very little about chicken houses but......every single chicken house owner I know poor mouths all the time and complain about how little they make yet they all drive nice vehicles and live in nice houses, go on nice vacations every time they have a change out, have lots of nice toys, etc.

I would love to have nice toys, vacations, big house etc however I am not going to borrow money for toys or put vacations on my credit card just so I can say I have this or I went here. To each their own though!

Have to go in a $1M debt to get a $85k per year job.
Poultry company you're contracted through OWNS you. They supply the chicks, the feed, and buy the results from you at their price. Trick is YOU finance the houses, land, equipment etc on your dime.
THEN, when you get your houses paid for and have a little more negotiating power the company drops you or you get VERY unfavorable terms. This is what I have been told anyway. Not in the business myself.
If you have a wife who wants to be a stay at home mom and is willing to help with the daily walk through's, etc. and you own your land your building them on and want to have it for extra income, I'd seriously consider it. As a full time job and my only income, forget it.

It just cost about $250000 per house. Then the chicken companies sign you to a contract and bring you little chicks. I call bs on one hour per house, more like 1 hour here and one at the next one then start over. When it's cold you have to walk through the chickens at night to keep them from smothering each other. Probably one hour when they get big to pick up dead ones etc. then the chicken company decides to slow your growth rate by not bringing feed when you call, or your chickens weigh too much so you get penalized. Then they stall around about bringing you more and about the time you get your houses paid for you must upgrade or they won't renew your contract. Chicken business is NOT what it was in 80's. I strongly considered it. I have cousins in the business now in North Al. Not going to get a better answer than this. Drive through Leighton in Colbert County and look at the houses (fairly new) standing empty. Several farmers went in the chicken business to use the litter on their fields and not buy fertilizer. The company always controlled the shots with constant upgrades which cost big money. Farmers just had enough and shut the doors. Take notice of the chicken houses turned into flea markets here in North Alabama. Sad.
I can't stand a thief.
