Edwards intended to take the chickens with him back to his home in Amite at the end of his term next month, but he has decided to leave them after Gov.-elect Jeff Landry asked to keep them during a tour of the mansion grounds, Edwards told the Illuminator.

Sources close to the governor say Edwards is known to visit and feed the chickens during particularly stressful days on the job.
The official transition of poultry ownership will take place on Jan. 8, when Landry is sworn in as governor.
The chickens did not respond to multiple interview questions about their new owner.

I find this story both inspirational and humorous. Can’t imagine that being a Governor is that stressful, but the chickens must have a special way of entertaining peace and tranquility,
