Toni Blair is not well. Also, Maria Rodriguez is Hispanic.
It had long been obvious that the little chicken would have a sheltered, and probably shorter, lifespan, but after attempting to feed him today, this became more definite. When I popped open the top of his bin, instead of running towards me like usual, she lay in a crumpled heap in the corner. The only indication that she was alive was the heaving of her breaths. It seemed like a great time to stuff a feeding tube down her throat.
During the feeding I also noticed that she was favoring one of her feet—the right one, and though it showed no signs of physical trauma or sensitivity, the little chicken continued to wobble on one leg after I had fed her and set her in a bowl of water to clean grime off of any hidden wound. It was about this time that a knock came at the door.
