Show ETHEL NIEL ON 1 2 04 ETH: Well I had a little girl and I had her when I went to w rk. My hu band wa fanning and he got polio, so that wasn't fun. I worked at the hatchery. I candl d gg . BEC: Oh, the hatchery. And you candled eggs? ETH: Yes. Yes, at the Apex Hatchery. Morgan Dyreng had 10,000 chickens. o there was lots of eggs. We were pretty busy. They had four rows-well, before that they only had two little buildings out here, then he extended it to the big one. BEC: How was candling done? ETH: Okay, they had lights under the trays. When they go by you-at the new factory there was four lines. So you had to watch and grab off any that had small cracks-they called those chex-and then with blood spots, I'd take those off. And if they was really funny shaped, they went off because they couldn't be double A. If you buy an egg, your best grade of eggs is medium. BEC: Is that right? Why is that? ETH: Because they're younger chickens and their shells are harder and they're just better eggs. BEC: Gee, I always buy the jumbo. I've got the old hens, then. ETH: It's old hens that do that. You have bigger whites but they're not as good a grade of egg. BEC: I didn't know that. I'm glad you told me. ETH: Usually they're cheaper. BEC: Yes, they are. So the eggs would move along on a conveyor belt, and just come through the light? 11 |
