Default Chicken Coops
In the western states it could be a POE (Port of Entry) too. In other states in can include an agricultural inspection and fuel check station. BOL

Due to the Chicken Haulers going through there with all their marker lights all down the trailer like a christmas tree. When one goes out=$ for the bears :wink:

and a bug check is an agricultural check station. when rolling into a coop, its best to follow a bull hauler in, some smelly reason DOT dosen't like to stop them (and you). :?

Because they keep you couped up like a chicken till they're good & ready to let ya go. I've never had an inspection last no less than an hour..
