Officials said multiple factors are working against the firefighters, including the wind, the size of the metal buildings and limited access to water. The farm, which is located a little over 100 miles north of Houston, is in a rural area without any nearby fire hydrants, leading the responding departments to rely on a water shuttle system with multiple trucks involved. The fire affected two chicken houses on site, and we are very sad to say one house had chickens in it at the time that have been lost, Feather Crest Farm's CEO Sam Kross told Scripps News Waco. It's unclear just how many chickens were lost in the fire and what this will do to the farm's operations. On average, a commercial house can hold over 20,000 chickens.
