I was able to right-click and save that with zero difficulty.

With the egg-shortages going on, it would be interesting to see the USDA put out ads like the did years ago!
In the interest of staying out of the spot light, I prefer to keep a low profile chicken keeper to avoid the egg-starved gentry with ill intentions. Lol! Fortunately I’m not the only chicken keeper on my street.
Boy wouldn't THAT upset a few HOAs and townships! That would be WONDERFUL!
Well, keeping 2-3 chickens does not require any special expenses. They simply build a house from scraps and offcuts of building materials, and they usually eat scraps from the table, some yesterday's pasta, leftover boiled rice, scraps of vegetables and cheese.
True, I remember in my area in Russia I caused some fuss, panic. At that time I had a large semi-truck, a kind of jeep, which in Russia are usually bought by leaders of criminal groups, bandits, bankers, owners of large stores. enterprises, etc. The car was old, but I repaired it and it seemed very expensive.
In addition, I have a rather peculiar appearance, I often get my hair cut for free with a machine, without going to a hairdresser, but just get my hair cut like sheep or rams are usually sheared, and as for myself - well, I am relatively tall and I weigh about 130 kilograms. Well, that is, in appearance, I look very much like some godfather of the Russian mafia, although I have never been involved in any crime and have lived my whole life by honest labor.
Well, and once I got myself chickens, about 200 of them, that is, more than i can keep "for free", feeding them with table scraps. And at that time, we did not have a base nearby where they sell feed for farm animals. Therefore, I had to buy chicken feed in regular supermarkets, where they sell food for people, not for chickens.
Well, in order not to spend a lot of money, I began to choose simple, cheap stores where the unemployed go, as well as pensioners with little work experience and a small pension. Well, and students with a small stipend, etc.
And the picture turned out to be the following - I drive up in this outwardly expensive, elite-looking car, get out of it, looking like some kind of mafia godfather, go into these stores and start frantically buying up all the cereals and porridges that can be fed to chickens. I just rake all the millet, pearl barley (barley groats from which the Russian soup "rassolnik" is usually made), corn grits, rice and so on off the counter, leaving nothing. I fill huge bags and go to the checkout.
Considering that the chickens eat actively, I had to go often and constantly buy up cereals, taking them out of retail stores in bags. And the more chickens I had, the more cereals I bought.
The result of all this was the following - I attracted people's attention. They began to look at me and panic, what was going on - some seemingly rich and influential person with a worried look was running around all the stores, driving around in an expensive car, and buying up all the cereals. People looked at this - and decided that something terrible was coming, at least the third world war, an alien invasion and a zombie apocalypse. And everyone began to frantically buy cereals, although they did not have any chickens at all. Pensioners began to spend all their savings on cereals. put aside for a quiet old age, and young people joined them - and in that city cereals really became a deficit for some time. As soon as trucks brought it and unloaded it in the store, people ran and bought it.
About half a year or a year passed, and then a real quarrel began on the Internet. People quarreled and tried to figure out what kind of idiot started all this, because firstly, cereals became more expensive, and secondly, everyone, especially elderly people, stuffed so much of them into their apartments, as if they were going to survive some kind of famine siege and blockade for 200 years. And then people quarreled for a long time, why buy cereals in such quantities, and for what purpose. Those who do not like cereals at all, but prefer potatoes and pasta, quarreled especially, but bought them by the dozens and even hundreds of kilograms.
And what about me... A large pet food base opened in my neighboring area, there are plenty of different grains there - I don't buy cereals in stores anymore.
I don't know why I remembered this story, but I still laugh at it. Well, yes, when I went to fix someone's computers or assemble furniture in apartments (that was my part-time job) - the hostesses always fed me porridge for free. Made from boiled cereals.
