Nashville farmer reacts to ‘Eggflation’

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The sound of chickens is one Michael Maples didn’t imagine he’d be hearing everyday. 

“Never did I think I’d be a chicken farmer,” he said. “Never.”

But roughly four years later, Maples is in fact a chicken farmer, running Maples Farm Fresh Eggs in Nashville.

“Neighbors started asking for eggs, and so then we got more chickens and more chickens, and now, any given time we can have between 300 and 800 chickens,” he said.
