Four-legged chicken:The bird appears to be healthy, chirping like any other chick. The Shorts even let the chicken walk around their kitchen - on two legs, although the second pair were visible. Laurie Short said they found the chick last week among the 16,000 birds they are raising. "It had climbed up into the bird feeder, and when my husband went to pull it out, the extra legs got caught," she said.
