Connecticut authorities are investigating the cause of a large operating chicken coop that was burned down at an egg farm.
The 50-foot by 600-foot coop that was burned down was located at Hillandale Farms. Some sources have reported that over 100,000 hens were killed.
John Way, a safety officer for the Bozrah Volunteer Fire Company, said the building that caught fire was large, being approximately 300 to 400 feet long and two stories high. The exact number of chickens it housed is unknown.
