There is an abandoned chicken coop not far from my house, probably less than 1/4th of a mile. I never really thought about it because it was obscured from view by vines and trees and bracken and whatnot. It consisted of a large stucture with rows of small square windows, 3 levels. There were also 3 sheds and 5 stuctures that looked just like roofs on the ground with small doors, probably for more chickens to live in. It was probably built in the 1920s or 30s because my neiborhood was once all farmland with no trees back then, and there are many old farming implements in my woods and long stretches of rock walls. Out in the swamp there are the remains of dranage ditches and irrigation systems that look very cool in the winter when they become frozen into icycles. Anyway, i decided to check out the chicken coop. I brougt work gloves and a hammer. I first decided to venture in the main stucture, wich had already been brocken into, because teenagers fuck, get stoned and drunk there. There are tons of beerbottles littering the wooden floor in a sideroom, wich was quite free of clutter, because the teenagers just threw it out the window and swept the floor so they could hang out there. It did still smell musty. There was a large desk in one corner, some brocken chairs and and old lawn mover in another corner. I picked up a long metal machinery part that i could use to smash things with. I then decided to ascend to the next level. I t very dark and dank in there, there was bits of junk everywhere, awls, glass jars, rusted farm implements, and a pile of soggy eggs pakages in a corner. I smashed some windows and threw the jars out of them and they shattered upon landing on the cracked pavement. There was also dome wooden furniture witch i smashed and threw around. But there wasn’t much worth taking because it was so old, I did find some black leather mittens witch i put in a grain bag along with some other cool items to take home and wash. When i finnaly got to the attick, once i stepped in dozens of pidgeons flapped about and out the windows, revealing nests in the beams of the rafters. It was wet and musty, and there was nothing but straw around hear. I thought it wise to not venture any farther, because it was quite possible of falling through the warped wooden floor. I then exited the chicked coopater throwing metal bits of machinery through the windows. I then checked out one of the little shacks. Once inside my boots cracked the glass and insulation that was strewn across the floor. There were canisters of all sorts lying about, and waterlogged books. I smashed some stuff in hear too, stealing a can of kerosene a shovel and some other cool loot. Then i made my way to the other shack but couldn’t go in very far because the roof had collapsed in on itself. tHE cotlying chicken coops were fun to demolish. I slashed at them with a long iron pump handle this they collapsed. There was alot of chicken wire and sheet metal that i would later come back for to use as my own building material. I then left with my loot. 2 years ago some stoners set fire to the main structure during the summer. I saw smoke rising out of the trees and rode my bike down to the chicken coop. I hid in some outlying bracken and hid my bike, so as to not be mistaken as a fellow aresenist once the police and firemen would come. I watched the place burn. Such extream heat, wich caused small brush fires to start. I was forced to move back alittle. There were small explosions from chemicals an canisters full of flammable stuff. One of the chicken coops caught on fire too. It was an amazing sight, to see this wall of fire, the sky being blackened by smoke. There were even burning burds flapping wildly out of the burning building, those pidgens who had so rudely greeted me a year earlier. Finally the structure collaped in on itself, sending a multitude of sparks into the sky. Then the firemen came and put it out, and i got the fuck away from there. |

If you read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, there’s a part on the mechanization of raising chickens, and lots of places in the southern US are littered with abandoned chicken farms, as all the profit has been removed. |

(Learn how to spell before you post. Better yet, become educated. Even better, take your own photographs before stealing them for this site.)
Those photographs were stolen... Not only are you some teenager punk who has no respect for property, but you are some idiot who is probably going to hide behind his parents when the authorities come knocking at your doorstep soon. It’s nice that you post very detailed accounts on the internet... good to give away to the authorities. |

I still don’t care if you took the pictures or not, I just hope you actually write the stories, I’d be bummed out if you didn’t write them because they’re really good. But use your own pics to make it more real. |
