My friend Pat owns a bunch of chickens, and they live outdoors in a coop. I asked Pat how they were doing in the smoke. She lives about 3-4 miles closer to the Okefenokee than we do, and I've seen how hard the cardinals and the morning doves around my house are doing with the fires, so I was curious about her chickens.
Pat said that they seem to be doing fine. They don't seem bothered by the smoke, and she promised to take some photos of the chickens in the smoke. The chickens are beautiful, and Pat is right: the smoke doesn't seem to be bothering them.
When I saw these chickens, I said to Pat's husband, "Consider the chickens in the coop."
He's a prof at Valdosta State University, and he smiled and replied, "They neither toil, nor spin."
Then, we all looked at him and laughed.

"The neither toil nor spin" but they're pretty good boiled or roasted with some lemon.
I wish I had thought of that--but I couldn't have because I'm a vegetarian.
Those are some pretty chickens. I was only kidding about eating them. Tell them not to worry.
