New Zealand’s Largest Egg Producer Goes Up in Flame Killing 50,000 Hens Amid Nationwide Shortage (VIDEO)

Fears are growing that New Zealand’s already severe egg shortage could get much worse after a major fire devastated the country’s largest egg farm, killing more than 50,000 hens.

John McKay, CEO of Zeagold Nutrition, has confirmed that a fire broke out at the company’s Waikato egg farm on Monday morning.

“A supervisor on-site at our farm called the fire department at 7:40 am today. All 12 staff members on site are safe and unharmed,” McKay told NZ Herald.

“Ten emergency vehicles are currently on site to contain the spread of the fire.”

McKay said the cause of the fire was unknown and the safety of the chickens was the primary concern.

“The cause of the fire is yet to be determined and investigations will continue.”

“At this stage the focus is on supporting our team and the wellbeing of the remaining hens at Orini.”

“It will take time to rebuild the sheds and restore flock numbers, but I want to assure New Zealanders that we’ll be working hard to continue to supply eggs and get back to full capacity as soon as possible.”

Earlier reports stated that 75,000 chickens were affected. However, Zeagold Nutrition confirmed that the number had been changed.

“We have lost two sheds out of the 12 on site. Engineers and electricians have been on site today to restore power, water and feed to all the remaining sheds,” McKay said.

The Guardian reported:

EnvironMENTAL Supremacists are burning down chicken farms all over the globe. 100,000 died in a farm burned down in Connecticut. These aren’t accidents.

Don’t count your chickens before the hen house burns.

No that’s not right either.

Another reason why keeping a reasonable number of backyard chickens should be a civic duty and a civil right, much like RKBA.

I don’t know if you remember ELF from the 90’s in CA.
They started by toppling power lines and then went to destroying construction sites.
They were so radical, even CA started making arrests.

Word was they moved to Portland and Seattle.
The same place Antifa began in the USA after moving from Germany.

We are down to one chicken because we are getting ready to move to our rural property so want to wait to get a new flock. But god bless her she has laid 5 eggs in the past week. That’s a 9 year old hen.

"Was Arthur Jackson seen in the vicinity? "

Here's a photo of Jackson, in case anyone might see him:
