We moved to East Tennessee about a year ago-rural area but close to Cleveland TN. Nice little subdivision with about 20 homes. Over the summer and fall we've noticed a 4-house chicken farm going in across the road, past a treeline. We are about .2 miles north from the front of the complex, so the waste pits and the back of the houses are about a quarter mile from us. I grew up with a big caged layer operation and know the drawbacks of a big poultry complex.
So, what to do? We do not have a mortgage. We remodeled a bath (expected) and put on a new roof (unexpected) so we know we would lose money if we move. Talking with our neighbors it seems that the chicken houses are a surprise as no one knew about them before construction.
Trying to decide if we move soon (hopefully before the houses are in operation) or see what the impact is, with a possible decrease in home value due to odor, etc.
Thoughts? What am I missing?
