EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[OneMountainAcres]

Jess,
You hear anything about 1,000 chicks being lost today in south-central PA?

Here's what I found

A fire chief says 3,600 chicks have been killed in a chicken house fire at a south-central Pennsylvania farm.

Rheems Fire Chief Charles Stanford says a malfunctioning heater caused the fire Monday afternoon at the farm in West Donegal Township, about 20 miles southeast of Harrisburg.

The chief says the farm hands worked to hold the fire in check until firefighters arrived, but it wasn't enough to save the chicks.

The fire caused about $16,000 damage to the building.

Got to be a hatchery. Who's operating in that area?

rheems fire department is located in Elizabethtown Pennsylvania so I am betting that it is this Hatchery

I'm sure you're right, though I'm not sure I'd call that south central PA

You'd be amazed how big of an area they call "central" pa

just taking into consideration responding fire department which is generally close by within 10 to 15 minutes that would be my best guess
