I have no intentions of integrating them with the rest of the flock regardless of how well they take to each other. In fact, once I get those two buddied up, I would like to separate out the rest of my bantams from the general flock. We have a lot of heavy breed roosters who routinely mount my...

Well, I put Tripod in a little container in front of Cacciatore's enclosure so that they could see each other. Cacciatore SCREAMED at Tripod all day long! And I don't mean conversationally, this was bloody-murder-I-don't-like-you-at-all kind of screaming. So now what? If I just keep them within...

Ok, I found the pic. It isn't as good as I remember it being, bt it definately shows off her... different... side.

LOL. I think I will change the thread title again. We nearly had a heart-attack last night though. And the weirdest thing was, the lid was still on her box! And there was not a chicken poo anywhere! That really had us scratching our heads. It was quite a relief to find her. I'm still in the...

No, I don't mean dead. She is GONE!!! We went out for the day and when we came back, the teapots on our windowsill were broken, and she was nowhere to be found! The lid is even still on!? Could someone have taken her??? We searched and searched the house. We lost a chicken in our house...

Official Update: Tripod has had a rather rough week. We have a lot of dead shrubage in our pen, and while she was walking through some, her third leg got caught on one of the branches and she couldn't free herself. I didn't notice until I went out to close them all up that night. I heard a...

Quote: I'm confused...I don't think this link is the same chicken. The OP in that thread got a three legged from McMurray, and later in the thread I posted an adult pic of my lovely lady. I will officially update soon

Quote: That is great! Dangerous Chicken: Tripod turned out to be a female after all! It is incredible considering the photos and how roo-ish she looked, but she has turned out to be quite the lovely little lady. Needless to say, we have kept her.

I am so sorry! There are so many that want him over on that side of the country, but we simply will not consider shipping. It is just too strenuous and dangerous for the chick. But anyone who is closer, or willing to drive a bit is welcome to him.

Quote: I think you are confusing three-legged chickens with silkies!

Quote: We are roughly 7 hours away from Crescent City. We just cannot afford to drive that far with the price of gas here right now (4.19$ unless it has gone up since two days ago, which it probably has). If you wanted to came up closer??? If you are coming up I-5, we can meet you at I-5...

Well, here are the pics I promised! Tripod is exactly 29 days old today, and is a most definate rooster. Which means that he will be going away... Which means that there is now officially a 3 Legged Rooster up for grabs in Northern California, if anyone is interested, LOL. Sooooo... Any...

LOL! wegotchickens, you got problems! Yes Kanchii, I would have to say that this falls into the "wierd" category! I love her though. So far Tripod is thriving. Eating, drinking, pooping, cheeping, napping, etc etc. Nothing much has changed in her appearance, so not much point in...

Hey mods, can I get this moved into the Me, My Chickens, My Family section as this is no longer an Emergency?

silkiechicken, It doesn't look like it in the pics, but the leg does not obscure the vent at all. The hip joint is far the left of the vent opening, so "defecation" shouldn't be a problem. Isn't she the cutest thing EVER!?

I found that pesky camera! Here are some pictures of Tripod. As you can see, she seems perfectly normal from the other side. Here is the "butt bump" mom was talking about. This is pretty much the only way we can tell her apart from the others from above. I don't know why she did...

I would, except that our camera has gone awol. I can't find it anywhere! Send "find it" vibes my way, and I will keep looking.

We aren't considering taking the leg off at this point. It isn't interfering with him at all, so we plan to leave it there. I think it will be kind of cool to have a three legged chicken anyway. Though, obviously if it were dragging on the ground we would do something about it. Just at a...

I just went and had a look at Tripod, and it does really seem like he does have a little bit of ability to manipulate his extra limb... He keeps it tucked very tightly to his side, and it is hardly noticeable now. The other chicks have hardly batted an eye. I so hope that he turns out to be...

Quote: Sorry.... If it happened to me I would be so totally amazed, astounded, flabberghasted, left in total wonder and awe at natures little mysteries. I, personally, wouldn't be angry, mad or aggravated. (I get more angry when I get woke up and I'm not ready to be woken up ) But, Just...
