how come one farm estimated it at 20,000 in losses, and the other in 220,000 in losses. Is it implying that after the chicken is processed it value jumps 1200%?

So many questions.

I didn't know you needed to keep chickens plugged in.

What concert?

Guy was that banged off and you just let him wander away?

You have no locks or security on 10's of thousands of animals?

Lord F I was thinking heat, but that happened fairly local and temps haven't been that bad here this week, mid 80's. Also he did it at night when it would have been even cooler. Exhaust? I dunno. Can't imagine that. I mean, power outages happen, how can they have a setup where if they lose power all the animals die?

hmm yea i assumed heat too (it has been gettin chilly at night yaknow) but chickens shouldnt be dying froom that in minutes. Must be the foul stench and terrible air created by that.
