Morrow later received a call from the farmer asking what he planned to do with the chickens. Panicking, he shared his predicament on Facebook, and was inundated with messages from people willing to help and take in some of the birds themselves.
"I was stunned, shocked, and speechless," he said.
"I had to turn my phone off at 1 a.m. It was so overwhelming, and I was blown away."
"The whole experience has shown me people in New Zealand are like one big family when it comes to helping those in need. Now everyone calls me 'the chicken man.'"
Morrow said that the birds' health is currently being assessed before they can be officially rehomed across the country.
All 1,000 of them should be rehomed within the next few weeks.
