The deaths of nearly 200,000 chickens in a commercial barn over a year ago may be the subject of legal action.
In November 2019 between 180,000 and 190,000 chickens died at a West Auckland farm which supplied Tegel chicken.
A 48-minute power outage cut the air supply to the barns which housed the chickens. They either suffocated or overheated.

The Ministry for Primary Industries was investigating the deaths, and it has now asked for the opinions of Crown lawyers. This matter is still undergoing legal review by the Crown solicitors and we are awaiting their recommendations, a spokesperson said.
