And I’d argue it was probably not called that either, just like, the chicken raiser.

I don’t point this out to mean that we should go back to a time with 23 birds as the acceptable flock size either, but merely to say that maybe 25,000 is not an acceptable flock size either, for the opposite reason.

Not necessarily a factory, but a business where terms like “flock management” would not be out of place.
