That's too bad, have they confirmed the cause yet? The article says that it might have been a wood stove.

Wood stove was some other chicken coop that burned this week. She figures a turkey knocked one of the heat lamps down onto the straw which burst into flames.

KFC anyone?

 ... okay, that was in poor taste.  And after that, I imagine so are the chickens!

 ... god damn it.  I need to stop.  Okay.  Seriously, that sucks.  How much monetary loss does that all equal?  It's a decent number of chickens for sure, but how big was the coop?  Will it take a lot of money to rebuild?

The coop was inside this old barn they had. I think they are moving soon-ish anyway, so probably wont rebuild. Chickens are pretty cheap, actually. In the spring you can get chicks for like $1 each.

And dont worry, I was making all those same jokes yesterday as well.

Damn.  Sorry to hear that.  Hope your aunt isn't a wreck because of it.
