What's the rarest thing you've ever seen from a chicken?

I think the chickens that are male on one side and female on the other are REALLY interesting. I wish I could find more info on them...

I don't know how rare it is but my neighbor hatched out a four legged chicken. It lived for about a year, pretty cool.

Me? An albino silkie chicks with 6 toes on each foot. He survived to tell the tale but was unfortunately a rooster (all the favourites are rooster) and had to be rehomed

I guess the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my own flocks was once, years ago, we had a chick hatch with just tiny stubs instead of wings and an elongated tailbone, looked like a short tail. It died after a couple of days though. Not sure if it was genetic, a incubating thing or what, but it looked almost like a dinosaur. Wish it had lived.

They are descendants of the t-Rex so that is explainable for sure.
