Chickens my ass, Joe. Delaware is just the asshole of New Jersey when it comes to chemicals.
And no mention of the fact that nearly every bank/credit card/finance company has a HQ there because of their liberal incorporation laws.
Industry of Delaware
The only mining in Delaware is of gravel and sand. The major economic enterprise is manufacturing, especially
chemicals.
Wilmington boasts of being the chemical capital of the world because it is the administrative and research centre of several chemical companies:
DuPont, Hercules, and AstraZeneca. Chief chemical products are pigments, nylon, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Delaware also has a petroleum refinery, a
synthetic rubber plant, packaging plants, and textile mills.
Dover is home to food-processing and other industries.
Finance and other services
Owing to the state’s liberal incorporation law (1899), Delaware is the legal home to thousands of American and foreign corporations. More than three-fifths of the companies listed on the
New York Stock Exchange are incorporated in Delaware. The law does not require Delaware corporations to maintain more than a token presence in the state, but it is the source of considerable corporate litigation for Delaware’s courts and corporate lawyers. The corporation franchise tax is an important source of state revenue.

The Eastern Shore of Maryland is loaded with chickens. NOT Delaware. Senile ol' fuck, not that I'm surprised since he doesn't even know where he is half the time.
"Maryland has
more than 500 chicken concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), mostly on the Eastern Shore. They range in size from just over 30,000 birds at a time to more than 560,000. Ferrell and some other Eastern Shore residents are worried about what those farms are releasing into the air.
Each CAFO contracts with a big poultry company. On the Eastern Shore, some of the most common are Mountaire Farms, Tyson Foods, and the Salisbury-based Perdue Farms. The chicken houses are typically large metal buildings — the newer ones are about the length of two football fields. Each house can hold anywhere from 25,000 to more than 50,000 birds.
Andrew McLean said his farm in Centreville has about 171,000 chickens in a flock, spread across six houses. He gets five or six flocks, or a total of at least 855,000 birds, a year."
