3 Legged Chick

[glowworm]

did you order straight runs? I can't imagine them not seeing the extra leg if they were sexing!

Cool! Can I have it?!?!
What breed is it? I wonder how they missed deformity?

Woah! That's wierd! If she seems healthy otherwise and she's for a backyard flock, I see no harm keeping her.

No, I ordered all pullets, and I thought it would be strange they missed it. I am sure they squeeze them to see the sex, I don't know how they missed the leg hanging out back there...

They probably didn't

I am anxious to see how she grows up! Is it possible that this was the "peanut"? Maybe they didn't sex her? Will you keep it even if SHE is a rooster? Trust me, having a three-legged chicken is COOOL

That is toooo wierd. That says a lot about that hatchery.......a 3 legged chicken!!!

Uh, ya.

That is what my last update said. I guess I need to post one. She is a she, and we kept her.

I would hope that it wouldn't be a rooster, but I plan on keeping her. I already have people that don't beleive me. I really hope that she makes it. Should I keep her in a seperate pin/coop when she gets older and is released to the outside world, or will she be fine with everyone else?
