A fire broke out at Egg Innovations sometime before 5 a.m. Firefighters responded to the scene. The building that housed the chickens was completely destroyed.

Though Egg Innovations bills itself as a "free range" and "certified humane" facility, this tragedy sheds light on the deceptiveness of labeling and just one of the many dangers chickens face when exploited for their eggs on commercial farms.
