CHICKENS DESTROYED
FIRE IN BROODER-HOUSE (From Our Own Correspondent.) PAPATOETOE, To-day. A large wooden shed was partially destroyed by fire last evening on the Sunny Park poultry farm, Papatoetoe, owned by Mr. W. G. Lynn. The building was used as a brooder house. Four brooders, containing between 650 and 700 chickens, placed in the house yesterday, were lost, in addition to two incubators full of eggs. The outbreak is attributed to overheating of the brooder.
The Otahuhu fire brigade was summoned and effected a partial safe of the building and prevented the fire spreading to other buildings. The brooder house and contents were insured in the South British office for £270.
