Would you recommend it as a job/side hustle?

Chickens can be profitable large scale if there is enough demand. Not as high margin as a successful cattle operation but a quicker revenue stream and less risk.

Are you talking about raising proper meat birds, selling eggs, or selling your soul to Tyson?

Why? Is it a full-time job or something you can take care of before and after your regular job?

I was looking into buying a chicken farm when I move back to Arkansas.

Heinrich Himmler was a chicken farmer before he became head of the Nazi SS.

Chickens need more water than you can imagine. Everything that walks,crawls or flies loves chicken
And you can't take vacations.

Is everything already set up or you buying as you go? Chicken houses are very expensive

Could be any reason. People sick of it, too old, died, not making money, retiring to paradise.

Ask and answer this question. Usually, chicken farms/houses get sold for the same reason.
