Ukraine war kills over 4 million hens

 The war in Ukraine has taken a toll of over four million hens as well as its human casualties. Owners of the egg production plant at Chorobaivske say that in early 2022, the farm was cut off from the power supply, which disrupted feeding lines, egg collection and shipment facilities, as well as the shuttle service for farm workers.The facility was the major egg producer in the country and supplied most of europe.

The company revealed that 4.4 million birds eventually died from thirst and hunger.

“We managed to give away to the local population some of the eggs and birds from the farm amid heavy shelling in the early days of the invasion, but most of the flock starved to death." a company spokesman said.
