Merry comments that a friend of theirs would feel comfortable in this setting, implying the chickens are common and unbothered by humans. The situation highlights the disorderly, humorous tone typical of the book’s setting.

Later, the characters discuss the chickens’ unpleasant qualities, notably their tendency to carry lice. Coolman admits he tries not to think about this fact, revealing a mix of humor and discomfort. This exchange emphasizes the quirky, offbeat nature of the story’s environment and characters, contributing to the novel's satirical tone.
