First Run of Cornish Cross Meat Birds and Super Excited!

[JRNash]

18 wheeler transporting 6000 live broilers caught on fire,or rather the trailer did
resulting in 2000 dead birds.Not to far from where I live.
This is one of those things that aggravate me. Truckers will run a flat(knowingly ) till it slings all the rubber off the rim. Ive followed behind them for miles watching rubber fly,when it stops.They stop.

And I understand that I'm being way too critical of truckers,most of them anyway.

Where are the other 4000 birds, running all over the highway?

I always like to go look at truck spills...,especially if it was a lumber truck. Have gotten all sorts of good things that spilled out on the highway and the companies had to write off. Last year I got about 3/4 ton nice timothy hay. The year before, a buddy got some packages of Halal meat, goat and lamb that had spilled. You get the idea!

I get it. In the pictures I saw,they did not unload the chickens. First 1/3 of the truck was dead birds. Google
The local news for Beaumont,Texas . channel 12 has a sight with the story and pictures

The chicken are packed like sardines in some kind of crate system

They are packed like that and hauled thousands of miles in crappy weather, so the birds will actually feel relive and be glad to have their heads removed.

I have seen the crates. I'm surprised only a third of them were burned, honestly. They do manage to escape sometimes, though.. here is an article I found from awhile back, this one happened a few hours south of me. The article I originally read said they were loose in the road, this one doesn't so who knows what the truth actually is.
