Description
Flames tore through a building with about 70,000 chickens inside an egg farm in Ramona Thursday evening.
Fire officials tell CBS 8 the fire caused about $2 million in damages, which includes the building and the chickens.
“Whenever you have an event like this, it reduces the supply,” University of San Diego Economics Professor Alan Gin said.
It's still unclear how many chickens died in the fire. CBS 8 spoke to Alan Gin about potential impacts it can have on the price of eggs.
