No, it isn’t true.
I know quite a few chicken farmers, I know one or two who have invested £1million+ & I know one or two who have invested a few £thou in their operations .
The ‘economics’ of chicken farming as I know it certainly DO NOT accomodate any kind of haulier earning £21ph.

Sounds like a job as a catcher not a driver…our catchers get £21 PER THOUSAND birds caught,average per shift is 5000 per man…5x£21= £105 per shift but trust me you really earn it,I did 2 loads with a catch team and picked up maybe 800 birds in total and next morning I couldnt get out of bed!!!

To be honest that system is better than hand catching as it doesnt bruise the birds or worst still break their legs

field,middle of the night,12 inch pipe in hand,chasing chickens,im sure id get headline news in sun with that lot and probally a few years locked up as well, if i hadnt gone of this job rob before,the thought of that lot has put right off it .
Oh dear. SOHF.
£21.00is rather a poultry sum for this kind of work, though some might think that its not to be sneezed at.
I believe you need to be a special breed of person to be happy working on poultry transport, IMO there’s more to work than money. I’ve been on the other end of this job, the farm where loriescome in to load the poultry out of the sheds. I never enjoyed our side of the job because it’s busy & stressful maing sure every crate has the right number of chickens in it & I certainly wouldn’t want to be a driver on that work unless it was alast resort.
Poultry is moved mostly in the darker hours because that’s when they’re quiet & the catchers work is easier, the catcher has to carry a certain number in each hand to load the crates properly, it’s not a case of chasing chickens, anyone who tells you this is the case is not doing the job properly. Livestock haulage has to be done by people who have the animals best interests at heart otherwise they’re not right for the job.
I’ve done all sorts of livestock haulage, hauling into & out of markets & from farms into slaughter plants. These jobs can be dirty smelly jobs sometimes but I’ve never found this side of livestock haulage as bad as the poultry lorries struck me as being. Obviously if you fancy trying the poultry job, give it a try but I suggest you keep an alternative job in the pipeline or go & do a shift to see what you think before commiting yourself because of the hourly rate. I wouldn’t do it.

All someone needs to do now is take it to the next level and develop one that works on ■■■■■■, illegals, tree hugging sandal wearing enviromentalists etc, scumbags, druggies !!

i did one shift there about 2 / 3 years ago when i was on agency. i’d previously turned work down there because of daft early start times with a long commute ( generally don’t get up before 4 ), anyway the agency ring me up saying there’s a weeks tramping work there, i say yeah but isn’t that job with a daft start times ( proberly take me 1h15 to get there ) - no no, starting at 6 or 7 on monday. gets there on monday to be told get to the farm somewhere in scotland for 3, have 9 off as start loading at midnight, wtf. if i was closer i’d have gone home then! set off, rang the agency when they started to tell them i was off home when i got back, they knew i wasn’t interested in working nights. it was the only real issue i had with the agency. parked up at the farm pretty much couldn’t sleep, maybe got 2 / 3 hours combined. had nothing to do with catching / loading. drove back with a couple of red bull stops / kip stops and went home.
money wise, i think it was £8.50 straight through and normal night out money of £20 ish, that was working through best connections hull office when work was slack.
