Here's another thread about a duck with a foot sticking out of its head: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...-crisis-but-look-at-this-help-please.1276357/

I just read through that entire thread, really awesome! It's sad to hear that Footsie was killed I'm starting to see a trend with all these unique babies....

I took a few pictures with some of her brooder buddies. I took a short video too but we'll see how long it takes to upload so I can share it. They were sleepy this evening lol

Right by my finger (you can't see it in the picture) there is a small bump, almost like the end of a spine or something that would line up just right with the legs. it's not protruding through the skin or anything but it's noticeable to feel it there.

Someone posted a picture of their three legged chick on a reddit forum not long ago. It had a whole third leg just hanging there. Super interesting!

I wonder if that’s maybe a full leg and/or hip system? Since it’s really only the foot that’s sticking out the back? So maybe the other leg is in there? Ha an x ray really would be neat right now.

An x-ray would be so cool to see! She actually has two little leg bones for each foot too. You can't see it in the fluff but they're positioned like <>

This is not a fantastic video, especially in the first minute or so but you can see that she has no trouble getting around or anything.
