A massive fire broke out at Farina Farms Inc. in Marion County, Illinois, on Wednesday night, resulting in the deaths of millions of chickens.

The farm is one of the largest free-range egg facilities in the country.

The fire, which began around 6:30 p.m. along Highway 37, quickly escalated into a 5-alarm fire, requiring the intervention of at least 20 different fire departments from surrounding areas, according to WAND TV.

Described as “humongous” by Marion County Sheriff Kevin Cripps, the fire engulfed multiple buildings spanning 200-300 yards in length.

“”I have never seen so many chicken ranches go up in flames.””

Used to never hear about anything like this.

Now it is 1-2 a month.

But it is allllll coincidence, right?

Yes, it sounds like they don’t think the bird flu thing is working well enough. IIRC, there was something in South Dakota or western IA last week, maybe 4 million chickens had to be put down due to bird flu.

Exactly on “it is 1-2 a month”.

Killing chickens because they have H5N1—an influenza which has about 60% lethality in humans if they catch it—is a little different than millions of chickens being burned to death because of an accident. Poor things.

They don't have H5N1. They are using PCR with an excessive number of cycles again to generate the false positives they need to kill our food, just like the used it to generate false positives at the beginning of the COVID-1984 Plandemic to justify the lockdowns and masks and forced vaccinations.

Kary Mullis, the guy who invented the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and got a Nobel Prize for it, said it should NEVER be used as a diagnostic test. Run enough PCR cycles and you can amplify anything to get a false positive on anything you want.

All of his statements about it have been purged from the Interwebs. If you have two brain cells in a row you should recognize this means he was telling the truth.

This has happened numerous times in the past year or so. How do chicken farms catch on fire. No coincidence.

An egg facility in Petaluma had a fire today.

This is weird too, unless it was non-free range chickens who got their gooses (heh-heh) cooked.

At 6:30 pm, this time of year, in IL, the free range birds would still be out free-ranging. (Ours go in ~8:00 pm now, maybe a bit earlier on days with heavy cloud cover.)

Don’t ask me how you’d get millions of free-range birds to roost earlier than they want.

Looking at the satellite view, maybe they should have spaced the buildings further apart...

They can call it “free range” even when they are confined in large buildings and never set foot on grass, I believe.
Still better than being stuck in cramped cages unable to move, but not the sunny green flowery meadows with interesting grasshoppers and June beetles to chase that people picture when they hear “free range.”

If they are in barns, they are not free range. They are Cage Free. which means they live in crowded barns with wooden box things, jump down to eat on the floor, go up to their box nest to lay eggs. Horrible animal cruelty and substandard eggs. I’d never eat them.

Free range means they can run around on acres of land and cage free means they have small movable houses, can run around and peck grass and grubs and whatever natural things they eat, spend the night in nice safe houses. Nice eggs, available everywhere.

I hate to see animal cruelty no matter what the species.

That’s the way most of them are positioned. They’re like that not far from where I live.

I thought that was the "cage free" category. But with marketing people, I can see it getting pushed. "Ranging" inside the building? Huh. But the AI preview from the Brave Browser says:

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines "free range" as animals having continuous access to the outdoors for more than 51% of their lives, and not being confined or feedlot-raised for any portion of their lives. However, the term doesn't specify how much space per animal is required, how often they should have access to the outdoors, or the quality of the land. For example, a free-range chicken might live in a large shed with a small outdoor space that it shares with thousands of other birds.

It may also be that a lot of chicks were fried... :-(

Granted, that evokes memories of certain young (or even not quite so young) ladies back in my 20's and 30's. It was a good idea to maintain a certain distance from them. :-)

Which in turn recalls my observation at one time that "As the Beatles turned to psychedelic drugs, a lot of chicks got fried".

I’m guessing the chickens were locked up and not free-ranging.
