A Democrat and a top Clinton backer, McAuliffe was asked by The Atlantic how his chickens were doing.

"I hate to say this, one chicken died," he said. "About a month before the election, Hillary died."

"We've got Hillary, Jr. now," he added. "She is bright and fluffy and making a lot of noise and healthy as an ox."
