New Zealand man accidentally buys 1,000 hens from online auction

Steve Morrow from New Zealand accidentally bought 1,000 hens from an online auction after he misinterpreted an advertisement which said a small free-range egg farm was closing down and needed to be vacated. Steve believed the highest bidder could take as many birds as they wanted. The seller, however, said the ad was clear and mentioned 1,000 hens three times.
