An Elaborate Mountainside Chicken Feed Monorail

In China's Taishun mountains, feed is delivered to this chicken farm via vehicle. But the farm itself has no interior roads that a truck can traverse, and thus the farmers have developed this elaborate monorail to distribute feed buckets across the property:I love how the poster edited the visuals so that the daring hen methodically eats the watermarked logo.As for how the trolley gets back up the monorail after unloading, there's no word, but it's probably an arrangement like this:As someone who keeps chickens, I was also struck by the indigenous design of the nesting/laying structures for egg harvesting. Mine are simply boxes in a coop filled with grass clippings, but here they've constructed bi-level bamboo-pole-supported structures with 360-degree visibility, stuffed with straw and capped with smartly sloped wicker roofs to shed rain. This is my version of property envy.
