A Turkey barn caught fire early Wednesday morning in Vulcan County, completely destroying the building and killing 9,000 baby turkeys.
Upon arrival, crews found a metal frame building completely engulfed in flames, with no hope of saving the structure. “Talking with the operators of the facility, it was 9,000 two-week-old turkeys that were inside. They had just taken delivery of them two weeks ago,” said Headrick.According to Farmtransparency.org, turkeys are typically slaughtered at 10-17 weeks old. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, these turkeys were not likely to be available for purchase yet, though they would have been available in time for Christmas.
