Aww! Good 'ol clover! so glad all is well! I hope she'll stay ok! what a sweetie! You and your family are amazing for helping her like this !

Congratulations!

she has to be separated from the rest of the flock for two weeks

Maybe you could set up another cage next to her with her chicken friends rotating every other day, so she will be able to stay connected to all of them.

If she makes it she might be ok so long as your flock is small.

I am impressed with how alert and healthy she looks post-op.

Avian anesthesia has come a long way.

My mom said it would be creepy and honestly I didn’t want to look at them

I agree!!!

You probably haven't read all 60+ pages of posts yet, but I can summarize:

Clover the 4-legged chick is about 3 months old now, grew well and seemed pretty healthy the whole time, had surgery yesterday to remove her extra legs, and seems to be doing fine after the surgery. Quite a few changes from what was in the first post!

I'm glad Clover is doing well! She's lucky she has you; probably some would have culled her, and others wouldn't have done surgery. Now she can be a really happy chicken!

So glad the surgery went well! Although I haven't been involved in this thread, I have been watching it. I named a chick after clover, since clover is so inspiring!

This is Clover Jr. The 5 day old polish chick that my hen hatched!
