One might think a solar powered chicken coop is a goof, like a two story outhouse, but thanks to the largess of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s a reality.
And why shouldn’t chickens enjoy all the wonders of solar power? After all, don’t they need heat and light? What better way to provide it than with taxpayer money.
When you look at the USDA spending $63 million in the Rural Energy for America Program, what’s a mere $16,094 spent to “install a solar array on the roof of poultry houses.”

didn’t know who to ask.
