Hello!

I will tell you how one of the State Duma deputies really contributed to the development of poultry farming in my personal subsidiary farm.

I don’t particularly pay attention to the excitement about the fact that Internet professions will gain unprecedented popularity, remote work will be in great demand … Of course, it will be in demand. But when I want to eat, I prefer that a piece of meat or chicken is not removed, but is as close as possible — in my freezer chest. And so for the second year in a row I buy and raise chickens.

This is rewarding work, but troublesome. This year, the ordered 30 day old beef chicks arrived earlier than expected and will have to spend a fair amount of time in the house. Before the onset of heat.

In the middle of our corridor, there is now such a plywood box — a chicken house. Fortunately, the area allows. Inside is a lamp. The birds are light and warm.

Plywood box — chicken house. Plywood box — chicken house.

Chickens grow fast and eat constantly. And constantly — poop … To avoid unpleasant odors in the house, you have to change the bedding in the box several times a day. When the chickens grow up, we will pour sawdust. For now, newspapers.

Newspapers require not just a lot, but a lot. My husband had a huge pile of newspapers in his desk at work from the time of the last elections to the State Duma. He brought her home. On the newspaper — a portrait of one of the deputies. And this deputy really helps us out now!

Since the time he ran and was elected from the Altai Territory (I can’t imagine who voted for him!), He doesn’t even show his nose here. I don’t think that the fact that this guy is sitting in the Duma has made the life of people in the region even a little better. But it’s still useful!

If not for this deputy, I would have had a hard time with the chickens. And so — dry, clean, beauty! Photo from personal archive. If not for this deputy, I would have had a hard time with the chickens. And so — dry, clean, beauty! Photo from personal archive.

In my memory, this is the only case when the deputy was really useful. Let at least in such a … unusual, mediated way.
