He raised fryers. Those chickens you get at KFC. They were allowed to run around in a very large room. Thousands of them per room, maybe tens of thousands. He had lots of buildings with rooms like that. There was this tiny conveyer of chicken feed (maybe 3 inches wide) that snaked round the room so they were never farther than a dozen steps from food. I think it took 6 or 8 weeks from hatching before they were ready for market. Toward the end of their existence they would get so heavy they would just park and the conveyer and not really move. I don’t recall how they got water (this was 50 years ago). If one got injured somehow, perhaps getting something caught in the conveyer or whatever, if there was a single spot of blood, the other chickens would notice and in short order peck the injured chicken to death. Even a dot of red ink was enough. They would pile on and do them in. I see some parallels. Humans are chickens sometimes.
