Tens of thousands of chickens died after a possible power and backup generator failure. (File photo)A mass chicken death incident at a poultry farm is still under investigation, nine months after about 190,000 animals died. When Stuff broke the story, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)​ said the deaths were thought to be due to a power failure and a subsequent generator issue. MPI late last week said a core team of three investigators was still investigating the mass deaths at D B Chicks​. The dead chickens were of a breed known as Ross 308​ and the farm supplied poultry company Tegel Foods.
