He is very cute, I agree if he can get around just fine I would not cull it either.
It looks like a little easter egger.

Someone had that happen to their chick as well

Could that be one of those weird two-chicks-in-one deal? I think that is when the egg is a double-yoker and both chicks develop, but one develops quicker and "absorbs" the other chick. Freaky.

Well that is one chick that wont blow over in a wind storm!

Boy, it sure is sweet. Don't cull. It looks healthy. The only problem is, if its anything like me, I have problems walking on my own 2 feet, let alone having to worry about 4 feet. YIKES!!!

In people it is called fetus en fetu. One twin develops faster and grows around the other. In this case, the other twin wasn't totally enveloped by other and the legs continued to grow. This is a hugely random thing that I don't think is related to heredity. If its a roo, he may have trouble trying to mate with a hen with the extra legs but as a layer, I think it would do fine. Two of the legs probably won't be under his/her control as they were likely from a another undeveloped chick.

I think you should breed it with a chicken that has 2 breasts!

Looks like definite mascot material to me too. Too cute!!!!!
