Thousands Die As Heat Hits Delmarva Chickens
In Vienna and across Delmarva, heat waves kill tens of thousands of chickens. Delinares Permat Allen Family Foods Inc. reports 33,000 birds lost between Saturday and Monday. Growers describe severe heat stress, with cooling methods like tunnel ventilation, wet pads, and misting. Some farms shift schedules and manually move birds to curb losses, while industry leaders note the regional flock size buffers potential price effects.
