Incredible!Hey all! Sorry I've been slacking here. Ripley is doing great and has even started laying eggs! Only 1 a day though, not two. No issues either! She's pretty much stopped like everyone else through with the cold/ dark weather. Now I'm off to check out the 3 legged chick!
Incredible!
The extra vent is not emitting anything?
Amazing that the 'deformities' did not have any fatal ramifications.
I wonder if the eggs are fertile! Have you checked?
Amelia is the absence of a limb or limbs, and begins with a long ā, so doesn't sound like the name. Dysmelia is the umbrella category including amelia and polymelia.I don't know what the opposite of polymelia would be called, but Cackle hatchery raised a chick hatched without wings, and they have featured him at their yearly chicken festival. Apparently he's a local celebrity.

This lady had kids, so if Ripley has a comparable structure, don't rule it out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrtle_Corbin
I will be utterly amazed if any of her eggs are ever fertile!
