4x legged chick, 2x Vents!

[Dnikid19]

Where do I start.. I have a baby chick that had an extra set of legs coming out his backside, above where his vent should be. Knowing the other birds would likely peck her to death, I tied off the extra appendage successfully. I’ve been cleaning her pasty butt 2x a day( the extra appendage was getting in the way of things falling naturally. Or that’s what I thought! I’m embarrassed to say I completely missed that there was a second vent on the right side of his butt. Now I have two continuously dried vents I clean daily hoping she will grow out of this ‘normal’ pasty butt issue. But what’s normal when you have 2vents?! has anyone ever seen this before and what’s the likelihood she will survive? She eats, drinks, plays, growing equally to her sisters. I worry about being egg bound if she does have two full systems. Never hoped for infertility before. also, any suggestions I can put in her water to help with the stool?
I included pictures of the progression over the last 2weeks.

Mine didn't have any issues as a chick. I assumed one vent was digestive and one reproductive on this bird. She did lay eggs.

I bred chickens with six legs. I was hoping to make a living selling drumsticks.

A news crew came out to my place to interview me and ask questions about my peculiar birds.

One of the reporters asked me how the chickens tasted.

I told him I didn't know, I haven't caught one yet.

wow. I put vasaline around the vent of my chick that had pasty butt, seemed to help things slide off.

Okay good to know! Definitely interesting. Did yours defecate out of both, like mine is?

Wow! What probably happened was two embryos started growing but merged together some time during the incubation period. I know a few users on here have also had four legged chicks, but I'm not sure about two vents. Please keep us updated on how she does!

Couple of days ago her vents were red and inflamed, almost looked prolapsed they were so swollen. I started putting Vaseline on her butt and olive oil and red apple cider vinegar in her water.. MUCH better these last two days and barely have to wash her butt, more of a touch up so that seems to help! Otherwise, we shall see!!

I'm not sure but I suspect not with what the necropsy looked like.
