T/I: 10:39:54 Industrious Ukrainians are moving away from tradditional forms of farming to the more unconventional...ostrich farming. The ungainly birds appear to have taken to their new roles with gusto and are happily living on former chicken farms. Used to living in hot climates, the birds are having to adapt to the icy conditions of a Ukrainian winter but this does not seem to have affected their ability to produce eggs in abundance. The farmers are pleased with their large wards and are looking forward to equally large profits. Orders for feathers, meat, eggs and tendons are already pouring in.
