Not in my area at least. When I was younger, they were only about 70 to 90 pounds each. Now 120 pound bales are not uncommon, though 100 - 110 is more the average.

Why do people build haystacks?

Most don't. It's actually rare even for farmers to build haystacks unless you're talking about the Amish or the few ranchers that like to stack hay the way it was done a hundred years ago. Anyway, haystacks are built so that they store hay instead of leaving it to waste out on the field, and are stacked so that they shed water if/when it rains. Hay is mechanically baled into large round bales or large or small square bales instead of stacked into a large haystack.

Why are this years hens attacking new hatched chicks pecking them to death it didnt happen last hatch?

This is always a problem. Hens dispense what is called the pecking order to every new flock member no matter what the size. The bigger birds are much stronger and their pecking will often be too much for the chicks who are not aware enough to run and seek shelter. It is often better to wait a month or more to introduce the new chicks to the main flock although this means keeping them separate. Another solution is to build a "shelter" out of carefully placed hay bales with small openings between bales big enough for the smaller birds to run into but small enough to keep the fatter hens out.

How much does a round bale of hay cost?

Round bales you are asking about are probably the large 5'wide x6' bales that require a forklift or other special means to handle. They typically weigh 1200 pounds if baled from fescue, brogham or other very "stemmy" grass. If the bale is a legume hay like alfalfa or a broad leaf like clover it will be closer to 1600-2,200 lbs. These round bales are often referred to as one-ton (2000 lbs). The baling pressure can be adjusted, and the baling speed can affect the result. Higher compression results in more material in the same space. Faster forward speed results in faster bale formation, less loss of fines or leaves resulting in a slightly lighter bale but more nutritionally viable hay. Because the round shape is somewhat more weather resistant than rectangular, there are some small round balers on the market. These small rounds are usually 20 inches around and 30-40 inches long and weigh around 75-130 pounds very similar to their small square cousins. Large square bales 6x6x8 are usually the heaviest of all at 2,200 to 3,000 pounds. The advantage of square bales is obviously their stackability. The advantage of round bales is that they have a natural water-shedding ability. The advantage of small bales is the ability to be handled by a single person. A mechanized farm benefits from the reduced "manpower" of being able to move large quantities of hay in the larger format.
