Authorities say more than 45,000 chickens have been killed
in fires this week at two central Pennsylvania farms.
A fire Monday killed 32,000 chickens and caused an estimated $400,000 in damage to a chicken barn and fields at Neal Sensenig's farm in Heidelberg Township.
Officials say the blaze isn't considered suspicious.
A fire early Wednesday at a Bethel Township farm destroyed a barn and killed about 13,000 chickens.
No people were harmed. Fire marshals are investigating the cause and origin of the fires.
Heidelberg and Bethel townships are about 14 miles apart in Lebanon County.
