The Imperious Hens do not let the heavy rain, ice, or cold deter them from their appointed rounds.

When I see them, I think of the U.S. Postal Service motto:

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

This is true of our hens, but not always true for our heroic postal carriers, who are struggling to cope in the post-Amazon age.

The hens are inspiring.
