mollyripkim Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Poor chickens, didn't mention them at all on the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Poor chickens, didn't mention them at all on the news. Yes, that's my point! Talk of people keeping indoors because of toxic smoke, but nothing at all about the chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Relief that people were not hurt... But those poor hens must have been terrified I pray they didn't suffer too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majuka Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Very sad, it mentions that two hen houses were affected, one was empty...... Poor little things Wonder how many each house contains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 We had a fire last year at the battery chicken farm in the next village. They had obtained planning permission to extend the place only a month before. It was over a weekend and the BBC report said about 10,000 chickens died of smoke inhalation. Upset the fire crews. Made me very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickendoodle Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 On the South East news on the BBC they said initially it was 200,000 chickens ! It was changed to "thousands of chickens" on the later bulletins but still must have been a vast number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
