A million chickens

How many chickens does it take to produce 3000 t of shit per month? Apparently this is important. It could be. I was just asked to work out the answer. The answer is a million.

If you don't believe this you could do one of many things. Here are two options:


  1. Do some research and confirm it.
  2. Figure out how much shit a chicken makes in a day. 10 g? What? Do you have any idea how little 10 g is? 1 kg? For fuck sakes. Have you ever seen a 1 kg turd? Not one that came out of a chicken's arse, that's for sure. (Chickens don't have arses, they have something else, probably called a vent. I really don't know because I don't study chickens.) Clearly the answer must be 100 g of shit per chicken per day. The remainder of this problem is merely an exercise in multiplication, which anyone can do without a calculator.
