So this is actually a six limbed critter. How weird. Now, the thing that begs attention is if some scientist can cause this mutation at will. Drumbsticks are my favorite part of the bird so I’d win out big.
Ryan Dickey, 10, found the four-legged wonder legging it around an incubator at his Te Uku home on Monday.
Mum, Marlene, breeds 14 types of chickens and said it was the first time she’d seen one hatch with four legs.
The little clucker is a Barnevelder chicken, a Dutch breed, and Mrs Dickey said other lesser legged chicks had accepted it without a problem.
