Nope, the environmental impact of all of the chicken manure that is
produced.  I seem to recall that a chicken produces 3lb of manure annually,
so this farm could presumably produce 360,000 lbs or 18,000 tons of the
stuff.

This is not to mention that the smell.  Does anyone have any first hand
knowledge of what living next to such a facility would be like?
