Ripley, the 4 legged chicken!?

Hmmm I've never seen anything like this before, I'm thinking maybe she/he had a twin that they kinda absorbed together during incubation. Best of luck, and keep us updated on her/him!!

I can see problems coming. Already poop is accumulating around those extra feet. How is she going to lay an egg without entanglement? I wouldn't cull her or anything, just have a tendency to be realistic. The Danish word for "four" is "Fire" pronounced Fear. I'd find a word for four that you like for the name. Good luck!

I think sure actually laid in a fresh pile of poop. The extra legs move freely away so I don't think she'll have a problem laying eggs someday. If the time ever comes though where it's too much for her, I will call her but we'll see what happens

I'd call it Kicks! You did make sure that isn't just the result of another chick that followed just a little too close didn't you? No muffed peeps or anything like that?

You all have great name ideas!

No Kidding!!!

Where is the vent in relation to the extra feet?
Are they just feet or leg bones too?
I know you may not know yet, but just can't help posing my questions.

I just did a little recon mission lol. It's almost like tiny hips (sort of) with little leg bones. The vent is off to the right of the legs. I'm going to check on her though because it looks like there's something in between the little legs. I haven't quite figured out yet though if it's another half formed vent? Another belly button? I don't know.
