When I was a just a kid my mother told me about some of the strange habits of chickens.
She said that if you selected a normal, healthy chicken and put a red spot on it's neck
the other chickens would be curious and peck that spot.
They would keep pecking at it untill they had pulled off all the feathers there and revealed
the skin underneath.
Then the marked chicken was doomed. It was then lowest in the pecking order
and got less food and water.
Fatally marked and weakened now, the poor chicken would literally be pecked to death.

Sometimes I wonder about things.
Like why chickens and people do what they do.
Or why God put that mark on Andy Hammond's neck.
And why Andy didn't learn to hide it.
But mostly I wonder why the rest of us chickens had to kill him.
And I wonder if those who pecked him hardest when he was down and out
are proud of themselves today.
And I wonder who else here has a mark on his neck.
That we may start pecking him too. There's no need for patience or kindness or tolerance or forgiveness.
We're just chickens after all, And it's just another day in the chicken coop.

Perhaps it wasn't God who put the red mark on Andy's neck,
but Andy himself who did it, which might explain why he didn't want to hide it,
all of the time?
