Sri Balaji Poultry Farm

I’ve been working here at Sri Balaji Poultry Farm on the Kovilpalayam Byepass Road for quite some time now. It’s a busy spot because of the road right outside, but once you step inside the gates, it’s all about the birds. Our day starts really early, usually before the sun is even up properly. You can hear the chickens making a racket from the moment the first light hits. We spend most of our hours checking the sheds and making sure the feed is right. It gets dusty, and the smell is something you just get used to after a week or two. People from around the bypass know where we are because of the big gate. We don't have fancy office chairs or anything like that. Most of the time, I’m out there in the heat or sitting on a plastic stool near the entrance. Sometimes the trucks come in late to pick up the crates, and we have to stay back to help load them up. It’s hard work, and your hands get rough, but it’s what we do. The bypass road gets loud with all the lorries passing by, but we just keep our heads down and get through the batches. It’s just a normal farm doing normal things every day. We don’t really change much around here, just keeping things running as they should be.
