4 legged chick Clover

Noo! life isn't about money! she needs to get this chick healthy above all else!

I would try selling her for an absurdly high price.
Someone out there with too much money might be willing to pay a hefty fee for the anomaly.

I wonder about mail order chickens. I was looking into a couple of new girls for my aging flock. One company mails pullets. I found that really odd and I would think quite traumatic. It was a two day process and I rejected it. I bought four new girls from Dare to Dream Farms in Lompoc, California and really like their operation, so I just ordered two more from them for this year. They deliver all over Northern California, so I'm much more comfortable knowing they come from a really good company.

The chicks at Dare 2 Dream are mail ordered from hatcheries, raised up, then re-sold. If you really want to avoid mail order chicks, I'd suggest looking at a good breeder.

Mmmm… how do i say this. I ordered 6 chicks from Cackle Hatchery, i was given 8! and one of them has 4 legs. I honestly don’t expect survival but it doesn’t seem to be in pain?? I’m not sure how I would tell… But I just don’t know what to do.

well first i think it was not good to send it to you without letting you first being told.But now you have it so i guess just wait and see what happens .

OK THE POST YOU'VE ALL WAITED FOR: She's fine. at 10-12 weeks we made a plan to amputate the limbs, she won't have a tail but that's ok. She listend to her heart and said it is def polymelia and not an absorbed twin. Our Clover may become a case study for Iowa State Veterinary though. That would be cool. The vet wanted to call the news station down but we declined. My father said evey single staff member came to see her and ohhhed and ahhhed. She's famous! We are so happy right now you have no idea...

That's awesome it will be like removing a dewclaw but glad to hear it. She's a fighter and cool to hear she's case study.

Have any of the other chicks pecked at her extra legs? I want to see pictures of everybody!

That's what I wondered about, getting picked on by the others or that the legs will get injured since they don't function.

 

[Happy hen lover]

no, not really... she's at the top of the pecking order (or near the top) and every time someone tries, she get relly angry, so they just leave it now!

I knew she was a FIGHTER!!
