Believe it or not, it's a real job, Lou...do you think the chickens march
off voluntarily to their deaths...!!!???

;-P

Seriously, a few years back there was an article in a DC paper (_City Paper_
IIRC, it's the DC equivalent to the Chicago _Reader_) about this. It's just
about the krappiest job there is...it described the lives of these poor sods
working as chicken - catchers at the MD/DE Eastern Shore chicken farms,
asmtha from all those chicken feathers and chicken poop dust was just one of
those problems. Just about the only peeps who did this work were Mexi
illegals and black ghetto ex - felon types who could find no other work...

===>>> there are LOTS of chickens in Delaware...
