Get some chickens, folks

riday, Marc h 31 Growing up on the farm we would
always have fresh eggs.
I remember our Dad and Mom,
Ivan and Betty Brandt, would order
baby chicks each spring. Dad would
pick them up at the depot in Nashua.
At that time the depot sat on the north
side of the tracks. Now the depot is the
current Nashua Senior Citizens Center
on the south side.
The chicks would spend a few
days in our entryway under a heat
lamp until they were ready to go out
to our small chicken coop. From there
they would be transferred to the large
chicken coop once they were old
enough.
In later years when the depot
closed Dad would get the chicks at the
Farmers Union Grain Elevator.
Of course with having chickens
we would butcher some every year.
This was one chore I did not like
and would always find some excuse
to get out of it. But we always had
fresh chickens for a wonderful meal
prepared by Mom.
Another chore that none of us
could get out of was cleaning that
chicken coop every spring. We would

need to get back to raising chickens so we have those

plenty of eggs. And with our large family we would eat a
lot of eggs. We even took egg sandwiches for our lunch

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture the
Call the Glasgow Senior Center rising cost of eggs in the U.S. is denting household
at 406-228-9500 budgets. Americans in recent years have increased the
number of eggs they consume while reducing their
intake of beef and venison.
As demand for eggs has risen, production in the
U.S. has slumped because of the ongoing bird or “Avian”
flu epidemic. Nearly 58 million birds have been infected
as of January 6. Egg prices in December rose 60% from
a year ago.
In some states, it can be hard to find eggs on the
shelves. But egg supplies overall are holding up because
