I am turning my attention to chickens today. Specifically chicken hotels … with turndown service. Yes. You just read that correctly. Turndown service. I saw an article floating around Twitter today about a luxury chicken hotel in Eugene, Oregon. According to the article, for just $2 per chicken per night,…
