Or maybe even more time than that. Or perhaps not at all. The owner might just take the loss and get out of the chicken business.
My whole point is not every fire or disaster is a government plot to starve the people. None of these are necessarily a false flag or a conspiracy against us. Sometimes people get hysterical about each and every thing. We need to also look at the big picture, which I tried to provide.
This chicken farm is a drop in the bucket compared to overall American production.
If they’re trying to starve us by a pinprick here and a pinprick there, it’s not going to work.

Absolutely. That national character has profoundly changed. Once strong and freedom loving, it is now weak and subservient.
Sadly, the bigger government gets the smaller the people become. Yet few seem to see this.
I’m no conspiracy theorist, but this is certainly looking like a conspiracy ... 100,000 chickens, 18,000 cows ... what the heck?
In the USA, 3 billion chickens are made into food each year.
I could not find statistics on egg layers versus meat birds, but found this from the USDA:
“In 2019, Iowa, the top egg-producing state, produced more than 17.1 billion eggs and was home to more than 58 million laying hens, while Ohio (the second top egg-producing state) produced 10.7 billion eggs and had 36 million laying hens.”
If you really wanted to starve people in the USA, you’d blow up oil refineries, especially those producing diesel fuel.
There is serious sh!t afoot.

Agreed. This feels like 1939 in a lot of ways. Bad stuff is happening but no declaration of war … yet.
Force Majeure. Gets them out of contracts signed when inflation was “transitory”. Allows them to set new contracts at higher current and projected prices.
Jan. 30, 2023: The cause remains under investigation. ...In nearby Lebanon, Connecticut, a fire in 2016 at a Hillandale Farms subsidiary killed 80,000 to 100,000 hens. The company also lost more than 100,000 chickens in a farm fire in Tyrone Township, Pennsylvania, in 2017....The Animal Welfare Institute,...
said some of the country’s largest egg farm fires include one in North Manchester, Indiana, in 2017 that killed 1 million chickens and another in Bloomfield, Nebraska, in 2020 that killed 400,000 hens. In a report last year, the institute said heating and other electrical malfunctions caused a large majority of barn fires.
