i wonder what would be analogous to free range chicken? really big pens?

i think the nasty think about small pens is that they are like flooded
feedlots or chicken coops - and because they are flooded you can't shovel
the shit and sell it as fertilizer. basically you gotta hope that the bay
(i think these things have to be in protected/shallow waters) can support
that level of continuous waste generation.
