More than 100 firefighters responded to a raging inferno that ultimately killed 100,000 chickens at an egg farm in Bozrah, Conn., officials said.

The blaze was brought under control late Saturday afternoon after a four-and-a-half-hour battle involving 16 fire departments, according to Fox 61.

The Bozrah Town Fire Marshal is investigating the three-alarm chicken coop fire.

The Salvation Army, which was on the scene providing food to firefighters, confirmed with officials that around 100,000 chickens died in the fire.

The fire comes as egg prices are already soaring in part due to a large number of avian influenza deaths in the United States. More than 58 million birds have died from avian influenza since last year, according to U.S. Agriculture Department Data.

“There is a slight whiff of sabotage about all of these fires.”

Far too convenient isn’t it? Now I am going to go down a rabbit hole. Wonder if there is something in Eggs that helps resist Covid or the bad effects of the virus? lol

There is some reason Chickens and Eggs have been targeted...

I love BBQ chicken. Unfortunately, I’d have to get carryout since there’s no way I could eat all of that at one sitting.

Aren’t eggs used in the development of flu vaccines?

If it feeds America it is either burned, recalled, rotting unsold, shrunk, or regulated out of affordability.

More fires to come. Install multiple hidden surveillance cameras now if you raise/ warehouse food stuffs.

Thank you. Good to be at the party. By request, I brought the artificial egg whites.

Bill Gates has some kind of man-made egg replacement coming to us soon. Not that Saint Bill would do anything nefarious like make egg prices go through the roof just in time for his rollout.

Coinkidink.

Nothing to see here.

It’s all about the bird flu, not about feed or mysterious fires.

The lacking supply of eggs - and the corresponding extreme prices for those which remain - are just a figment of your imagination.

aka ‘Misinformation’.
