Aftermath of shed fire at Kinross intensive egg farm

Aftermath of shed fire at Kinross intensive egg farm

On the night of November 9, 2021, Farm Transparency Project received a tipoff about a shed catching fire at an intensive egg farm in Carisbrook, Victoria. The farm, owned by Kinross, produces "cage-free", "barn-laid" eggs in an "aviary" system, with up to 45,000 hens in each shed. Our investigators went to document the aftermath and check for survivors.
