Stankee is an understatement! I was just talking about chicken farm stank with my husband the other night as we were driving through the HOT, humid South. I have fond memories of driving through Leake and Neshoba counties at night in the summer with my daddy. Daddy wouldn’t eat chicken very often due to his work at a chicken slaughter house when he was a youth. He rarely ate ham either. But he liked baloney, mustard, mayo, and peanut butter on day old biscuits. Eww. Lol
