The sheds, which will each house up to 50,000 birds, will be built at Ensdon Farm in Montford Bridge, near Shrewsbury.
The plans were given the blessing of Shropshire Council's central planning committee yesterday.
Councillors were told that the only objection to the proposal had come from the Ministry of Defence.
The organisation had said it was concerned about the impact of noise from helicopters at its Nesscliffe training base on the chickens.
