The story so far
Tadé found his calling by accident, when a lost chick followed him for a whole afternoon and he could not bring himself to shake it off. He taught it to find the good spot behind the water tank instead, and by evening there were four chicks, and by the next week there was a curriculum. Foraging 101 is now the Republic's best-attended class, its final exam gloriously simple: find the good spot before your instructor does.
As Minister he pairs every chick with a senior hen and every senior hen with a reason to get up in the morning. He argues, gently and constantly, that the Young Chick Representation Bill is right and that the ministry should one day be led by an actual young chicken, once one of them stops eating the exam. The Noiler start their young early on the range; Tadé made that a national programme.
