Woman Living near Factory Farm in Lescout, France
Near the village of Lescout there is a big hen factory farm, currently farming 185,000 hens. A line of trees and the small river the Sor separate the hen factory farm affecting the village of Lescout from some of its nearest houses. One of them belongs to Hélène Catala, 46 years old, a nurse living and working in village. This old mill facing the Sor is just a few hundred meters from the farm. The extractor fans are on the side of the farm facing the river and Lescout. Hélène’s life, according to her, is affected by the smell coming from the facility on a daily basis. “The main issue for us is the smell. Sometimes I ask myself: what is going on next to our home?”

Hen Factory Farm in France
The egg laying hen factory farm of Lescout, Gallès, located a few hundred meters away from the village, is the only industrial facility for animal agriculture of the area and is currently farming 185,000 hens. First built in the 1980s, it steadily grew and was expanded in 2016 to the modern and highly industrial facility it is today. The owner is planning to expand more as a building permit has been requested for a new building. The village of Lescout has only 700 inhabitants. The quantity of hens in the factory farm outnumbers the population of the village by 264 times.
