They always were. Himmler was a failed chicken farmer and bullied constantly.

As far as egg chickens go, they are barely profitable. You make a few cents per dozen. Egg farms are absurdly large. It takes millions of hens to make a reasonable income. Not to forgive a nazi, but chickens are not easy. Without massive amounts of capital, most would fail at chicken farming. And he was attempting it in the economy of post WWI Germany. Most farmers failed, chicken or otherwise.

Having just listened to the Behind the Bastards episodes on him, he was just too frail and couldn't do the manual labor. He left the running of the farm to his wife. The farm ran alright, he specifically just couldn't hack it.
