LINCOLN, Neb. — A proposed poultry farm that could house up to 380,000 chickens already faces opposition as Lancaster County officials considers new regulations for large livestock operations.
Sunset Poultry LLC applied earlier this month for a special permit for eight barns housing up to 47,500 chickens each on 80 acres just south of the Saunders County line, about a mile and a half southwest of Ceresco.
The total of 380,000 birds would make it twice the size of the poultry operation that was approved in the southwest part of the county last year. The birds would go to the Lincoln Premium Poultry plant in Fremont that will process chickens for Costco.
