It may be. I believe that is the theory when people and animals have extra limbs. There are photos of other 4 legged chickens on the Internet that can be found by a search.
I guess it is normal for us to stare at and study those that are different. I posted the photo to show what can happen and won\'t sell her/him to a sideshow. A friend on the phone last night said this chick should live a full life...I guess because it is special he thinks it should have special privileges. I don\'t have a use for it and will give it to any club member that wants it.

Yes. I haven\'t studied it in detail, but the shanks/legs seem to come from a common hock and I can feel a thigh beyond that that protrudes from the body much like the normal two thighs...just in an odd location.

Sounds like your friend needs a 4-legged chicken. ;)

Thanks for sharing with us......I guess chickens are like dogs in the regard that if you breed animals for a long enough time you will see EVERYTHING!

Does anyone know whatever happened to this chick?
